Reviews / Votes
Another solid entry in a consistently well written series. Like Ed McBain, Rowson works many subtle variations on the procedural formula (including very interesting relationships between Andy and a couple of his superiors). A definite winner in the crowded field of British procedurals. Booklist A rapid fire tale. Kirkus Reviews The very tight plotting was very impressive and make me want to look out for further books by this author. A very enjoyable read.
