  A Bill Slider Mystery

  When a music critic dies in strange circumstances, Detective Inspector Slider suspects a number of people. But when suspicion falls close to home, only Slider's troubled instincts can prevent the obvious arrest being made.

  Praise for the Bill Slider series:

  Harrod-Eagles unleashes an effective, dark-edged tale and serves up a truly nasty villain into the bargain... [She] gracefully builds upon her habitually elegant procedural stylings to deliver taut psychological suspense. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

  Briskly sketched characters on both sides of the law, tossed together in situations that crackle with gentlemanly tension. KIRKUS REVIEWS

  There are plenty of suspects for old Bill Slider and his team, and a whole fishmonger's full of red herrings. Harrod-Eagles is a wonderfully assured, compelling plotter, and her hero is as appealing as ever. YORKSHIRE POST

  Each plot twist, including one devious turn that throws suspicion on a former member of Slider's murder squad, hangs on the testimony of complicated characters who are among the author's finest stock. Nobody is exactly what he or she seems: not the victim, not even Slider, who has reason to examine his own conscience. NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  Harrod-Eagles delivers snappy prose and a ripping tour through the British music world. MOSTLY MURDER
