Of all the weird characters Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond
has met in Bath, this one is the most extreme: a
twenty-first-century private eye called Johnny Getz, whose office
is over Shear Amazing, a hairdressing salon. Johnny has been hired
by Ruby Hubbard, whose father, an antiques shop owner, has gone
missing, and Johnny insists on involving 'Pete' in his
investigation. When Diamond, Johnny and Ruby enter the shop, they
find a body and a murder investigation is launched. Diamond is
forced to house his team in the dilapidated Corn Market building
across the street. His problems grow when his boss appoints Lady
Bede, from the Police Ethics Committee, as an observer. Worse
still, Johnny conducts his own inquiry by latching onto Ruby's
stylish friend, a journalist called Olympia. Shootings from a
drive-by gunman at key players create mayhem and the pressure is
really on. Can the team stop more killings in this normally
peaceful city? What happened to Ruby's father? And will Johnny
crack the case before Diamond does?
