Reseña del editor:
In a new mystery from the best-selling author, DC Sharon Mayfield is on routine surveillance when she spots a dead man in a car. The car's locks are sealed with superglue and Claude Huddart's face has been mutilated. As with most murders, there is a puzzle to be solved, but the pieces don't fit. Why is informant Jeremy Dince--if that is his real name--being so helpful? And there's just something that doesn't feel right about the grieving Alice Huddart.
Biografía del autor:
Bill James has been called ""the Elmore Leonard of Britain's underworld"" (Kirkus Reviews) and has been named a ""Master of Crime"" in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, ""There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain's inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets."" In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is the author of other mystery series and a book on Anthony Powell. He lives in Wales.
