About the Book

Originally published in hardcover in 2012 by Severn House.

Book Synopsis

A boiling-hot August day and a handsome young man is found dead in his bath, exsanguinated. Bill Slider's colleague takes one look at the body and is convinced something isn't quite right. As Bill investigates, he reluctantly has to agree. But as Slider and his team try to identify the man - whose personal papers are missing, along with his wallet and keys - it seems that the more they find out about him, the less they really know . . .

Review Quotes

"A sly wit that leavens this richly detailed mystery is a bonus"-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Between his love Joanna's grouchiness, his superior's lack of patience, and the case's seamier byways and drug-addled persons of interest, it's not the easiest of times for Slider, but most readers will want to spend even these dour moments with him"-- "Kirkus Reviews"

"Clever, engaging, and well plotted, this is a fine example of the British police procedural and sure to be a hit with genre buffs and Anglophiles"-- "Booklist"
