'An outstanding series' – NEW YORK TIMES
Detective Inspector Bill Slider and his team investigate the disappearance of a woman caught in tangled web of deception in the fourteenth entry in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' critically acclaimed crime series.
When Melanie Hunter goes missing, the men in her life come under suspicion. And there's plenty to suspect: lies, half-truths, deceit. When you pull one thread, the whole fabric of family life can come apart.
There are dark secrets in Melanie's past, and pain she tried to hide from the world. Slider and his team need to answer two questions:
Who loved Melanie?
And who loved her too much?
Written with Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' signature sharp plotting and dry wit, this hard-hitting character-driven mystery is a must-read police procedural for fans of Mick Herron, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson.
Praise for the Bill Slider series:
'Slider and his creator are real discoveries'
Daily Mail
'Sharp, witty and well-plotted'
Times
'Harrod-Eagles and her detective hero form a class act. The style is fast, funny and furious - the plotting crisply devious'
