An intricately plotted, traditional British police procedural with many unexpected twists.
Cynthia Harrod-Eagles was born and educated in London and had a variety of jobs in the commercial world before becoming a full-time writer.

Harrod-Eagles' latest DCI Bill Slider novel brings the series to a
new level, with one of Slider's most challenging and unusual cases
to date . An outstanding mix of hard-boiled action and
interpersonal give-and-take, perfect for those who like something a
bit different from the standard police procedural

shifting motives and persons of interest. However, it's
Harrod-Eagles's ability to create authentic relationships between
Slider and his colleagues and family that lifts this series into a
league of its own . This entry will garner new readers and delight
loyal fans

While the investigation itself makes for an attention-grabbing
read, it's Harrod-Eagles' deftly drawn characters and the sheer

appeal. As always, Harrod-Eagles salts the narrative with witty
repartee, including a wealth of clever puns, all of which help make
reading this particular book and the entire series such a treat
