The clock is ticking for incorrigible middle-aged Detective Inspector Bill Slider and his team when a woman goes missing in the fourteenth mystery in the critically acclaimed series.
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. She is the author of the internationally acclaimed Bill Slider mysteries and the historical Morland Dynasty series. She lives in London, is married with three children and enjoys music, wine, gardening, horses and the English countryside.
"While Harrod-Eagles conjures up an absorbing police procedural, it's her ability to capture the foibles of her characters, to make them come alive, to show the playfulness and passion of human nature, and to evoke the reader's empathy that makes her books stand out. Highly recommended for all readers of police procedurals"--Booklist Starred Review "The author imbues each of her detectives with a distinct personality, and evokes a real sense urgency as the action moves deftly from suspect to suspect as well as from clue to clue"--Publishers Weekly "If you're unlucky enough to be murdered, pray that DI Slider is handed your case. And if he ever comes on the marriage market again, get in line for a chance at him"--Kirkus Reviews
