Synopsis

Five teenage girls have been raped and murdered, and the criminal is still at large. Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur, assigned to the case, is a tough hunter, but so is the Lolita man, watching the schoolyards. Now it looks as if the daughter of Harpur's friend may be the latest victim. Virtually obsessed with the urgency of the matter, and hampered by the bitter police rivalry that is jeopardizing the case, Harpur decides to go it alone.

Media Reviews
Excellent characterizations, convincing police work, continuously taut.... A corker. -- [London] Sunday Times
Savvy, cynical, and intensely readable. Perhaps only Nabokov himself could have crammed so much moral ambiguity into so little space. -- David Delman - Philadelphia Inquirer
Author Bio
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.
