Synopsis

A middle-aged man jumps under a tube train at Shepherd's Bush station, and a teenage girl is killed in a hit-and-run, in a country lane puzzlingly far from her home on the White City Estate: two unrelated incidents which occupy DCI Bill Slider and his team during a slack period. At least it's a change of speed after the grind of domestics, burglaries and Community Liaison. But links to a cold case - another dead teenager, pulled out of the River Thames - create doubts as to whether they are indeed unrelated. And slowly a trail of corruption and betrayal is uncovered, leading Slider and his firm ever deeper into a morass of horror.

Goodreads review by Deborah on November 15, 2016

No 18 in the series. I didn't mention the excellent plotting in the last review (No 17); H-E doesn't miss a beat. And I would have expected some of her more eccentric characters to have become rather hackneyed by now but Porson (for instance - there are quite a few!) with his malapropinqity for mang......more

Goodreads review by Shirley on May 30, 2016

This is probably the darkest Bill Slider book of the bunch, but it is definitely one of the best in the series. I always love Bill Slider and his down-to-earth and honest method of policing. I like his team as well, but this time we are missing the wonderful Sergeant Hollis who committed suicide in......more

Goodreads review by Elite on February 05, 2016

Another easy-reading and enjoyable thriller by this author It was great to meet up again with newly-appointed DCI Bill Slider and his team, although we are subjected to the funeral and subsequent fall-out of the suicide of one of the team, Colin Hollis. The plot also starts with a suicide, this time b......more
