Synopsis

An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

A Bill Slider Mystery

Burdened with an increasing number of new Home Office directives and a regular rousting by top brass, the last thing Detective Inspector Bill Slider needs on his manor is a fire - not to mention a fire in a sleezy motel with a body.

Called to the site of the fire, in which a man registered as John Smith perished, Slider is unconvinced that the death was the result of suicide.

Praise for the Bill Slider series:

'Unerring characterization, droll copper dialogue and a gritty London setting, Harrod-Eagles mines fresh pleasures from standard procedural resources.' Publishers Weekly

'A lively and witty writer.' New York Times Book Review

'The mystery is a good one, its investigation is workmanlike, and the writing is assured and even elegant.' Sunday Telegraph

Unerring characterization, droll copper dialogue and a gritty London setting, Harrod-Eagles mines fresh pleasures from standard procedural resources. * Publishers Weekly *
A lively and witty writer. Integrating romance and suspense with the same artful grace she achieved in her first mystery, the author is well on her way to an outstanding series. * New York Times Book Review *
The mystery is a good one, its investigation is workmanlike, and the writing is assured and even elegant. * Sunday Telegraph *
There is a briskness and unpretentiousness to Harrod-Eagles' writing... (she) keeps the plot moving with verve and wit and the whole thing is suitably entertaining. * Million *
