  An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

  A Bill Slider Mystery

  Inspector Bill Slider is approached by Jay Paloma, a gay erotic dancer, who has received letters threatening his life. A few days later Paloma's battered body is found in the apartment he shared with barmaid and prostitute Busty Parnell - Slider is teamed with young black female detective Tony Hart. Their investigation delves into the seedy underside of London's nightlife, and will lead them into some curious byways and cul-de-sacs.

  Praise for the Bill Slider series:

  The books work so well because the author manages to infuse them with a warmth and wit that lingers on after the last page is turned. YORKSHIRE POST

  This is an excellent, solidly professional police story: well-written, with well-drawn characters and a neatly dovetailed plot. EVENING STANDARD

  ...the charm oozed by Bill, who is a normal person with personal problems struggling to survive in a cruel world through humour and wit...a unique novel that gives readers a glimpse of an England rarely seen in this sub-genre. HARRIET KLAUSNER
