Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Jim Kelly
Rookie detective Peter Shaw, along with his chain-smoking, hard-as-nails, veteran partner, is confronted with a baffling crime that stretches him to the breaking point.
"Starred Review. Few puzzle solvers will unravel this one before the wind-up, and awards committees will be queuing up to honor this second case for Shaw." - Kirkus Reviews
"Starred Review. Twists pile on twists in Kelly's superb whodunit." - Publishers Weekly
"Except for [the] hackneyed subplot, this is a fine thriller, in terms of both atmosphere and suspense." - Booklist
"Starred Review. An excellent choice for fans of British police procedurals and "locked-room" mysteries." - Library Journal
