COPY ISBN
When a doctor is fatally shot in his home, Bill Slider (Fell Purpose; Game Over) and his team have precious little to investigate. There are no clues at the scene, and the victim's life is clutter free—they cannot even find out where he worked. Then there is a second murder.
VERDICT Although the carefully detailed plot effectively creates an oppressive atmosphere, the motive behind the crime is a trifle obvious. Still, that should not stop fans of complex British procedurals from enjoying this title.
