by JohnBaker (Author)
When Edward Blake's wife India was kidnapped, he didn't trouble the police, just paid the twenty five grand ransom. But when she didn't show up and the kidnapper went to ground, he did call in the law, who figured that the whole thing was a set-up between India and some secret lover. But then, three months later, she turned up in a box, having been left to starve to death. The police became really interested, especially when they found out about the two and a half million pounds' worth of life insurance he'd taken out on her the year before. But with no proof they had to let Edward Blake go. The insurance company, however, is less than keen on paying up. Jill Sheridan, insurance assessor, needs someone to do some legwork, poking around in odd corners of Blake's life, and her thoughts turn to an old flame: Sam Turner...

Book Overview: The Sam Turner mysteries, of which this is the fourth, have made John Baker a highly acclaimed new crime writer The previous three Sam Turner novels are being reissued behind this new book in a stylish new cover look A major title on the Indigo re-launch list Praise for John Baker: 'John Baker brings heart, invention and wit to the business of adapting the tough-guy novel to the realities of contemporary Britain. What is more he chooses the much less obvious setting of York... it will depress the local tourist board but bring cheer to crime and mystery readers' Independent on Sunday 'His characters endear themselves to us, and we care what happens to them. His writing is always quirky, never flashy, and ... he leaves us wanting more of an engaging crew who feel like friends by the end of the book' Manchester Evening News
