In his 11th outing, London Detective Inspector Bill Slider (Dear Departed) and his team are called to the apartment of investigative reporter Ed Stonax, who has been murdered. Despite finding no evidence, the team begins to piece together a case of great complexity that includes several other murders and the return of Slider's nemesis, Trevor Bates. Harrod-Eagles writes terrific crime novels, meshing fully realized characters with multilevel plot lines. The result is a pleasing combination of puzzle mystery and police procedural.
