A well-dressed corpse found shot in the sand and gravel wharf
sparks trouble for Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and
his unpredictable boss, Assistant Chief Constable Iles. "A
must-read for devotees of British procedurals" - Booklist Starred
Review The man is found dead in the local dockyard, shot from
behind. Colin Harpur, examining the impeccably dressed corpse on
his hands and knees, predicts the execution spells imminent trouble
- and not just the unexpected arrival of his spiteful, brilliant
boss, ACC Iles, at the two a.m. slaughter scene. Iles's progressive
attitude towards the local drugs trade has kept gang warfare off
the streets, but now it seems jealous outsiders may be coveting the
safe, ordered community he has so brilliantly created. Coveting,
too, the local property - for instance, drug lord Ralph Ember's
luxurious mansion, Low Pastures, home to his unparalleled
collection of china and porcelain. Harpur and Iles are determined
to protect their set-up at all costs - which includes protecting
'Panicking' Ralph. But Ralph has his own plans, and there are dark
rumours about Iles on the wind . . . Blackly humorous, delightfully
eccentric and packed with sharp-tongued wit, this gritty British
police procedural is a must-read for fans of Bill James' critically
acclaimed long-running Harpur and Iles series.
