Detective Constable Sharon Mayfield is on routine surveillance when
she spots, outside his house, a dead man in a car. The locks had
been sealed with superglue and Claude Huddart's face has been
mutilated. As with most murders, there's a jigsaw puzzle to be
solved. But here the pieces don't fit. Why is an informant, Jeremy
Dince, if that is his real name, being almost exceptionally polite
and helpful? And there's just something that doesn't feel right
about the grieving Alice Huddart. For Sharon, pub and clubs remain
the best potential source of information where an over-the-top and
aged Ronald Blenny attempts to pick her up on the pretext of
sharing some information about the killing. Then there's the
younger and more sinister Philip Otton, acquaintance of the
bereaved Alice, and known to both Blenny and Dince. Sharon cannot
fathom why she is being warned off and cannot work out the
connection between the protagonists until her police officer
boyfriend Luke drops strange hints about the case and about her
commanding officers. The climax is swift, shocking and unexpected.
Once again, Bill James has drawn a fiercely believable picture of
police on the beat and the struggles they face.
