The genteel facade of London's Hampstead is shattered by a series
of terrifying murders, and the ensuing police hunt is threatened by
internal politics, and a burgeoning love triangle within the
investigative team. Pressurised by senior officers desperate for a
result a new initiative is clearly needed, but what? Intellectual
analysis and police procedure vie with the gut instinct of
'copper's nose', and help appears to offer itself from a very
unlikely source a famous fictional detective. A psychological
profile of the murderer allows the police to narrow down their
search, but will Scotland Yard lose patience with the team before
they can crack the case? Praised by fellow authors and readers
alike, this is a truly original crime story, speaking to a
contemporary audience yet harking back to the Golden Age of
detective fiction. Intelligent, quirky and mannered, it has been
described as 'a love letter to the detective novel'. Above it all
hovers Hampstead, a magical village evoking the elegance of an
earlier time, and the spirit of mystery-solving detectives. Guy
Fraser-Sampson is an established writer best known for his series
of Mapp and Lucia novels which have been featured on BBC Radio 4
and optioned by BBC television. This is his debut work of detective
fiction, and the first title in the Hampstead Murders series.
