Book Synopsis
The second in the acclaimed Lydmouth crime series, set on the Welsh/English border in the years after World War II

Trade Review
Taylor's Lydmouth series is turning the classical detective story into a complex picture of our own past * Independent *
Andrew Taylor is one of the most interesting, if not the most interesting novelist writing on crime in England today * Spectator *
The people depicted here are real and believable and the drabness and genteel facade of Fifties England is skilfully brought to life. Taylor is, as always, adept at showing the reality beneath the surface * Sunday Telegraph *
How skilfully he recreates the atmosphere of the time through innuendo, attitude and detail . . .Taylor is the master of small lives writ large and he has carved a classic detective story * Frances Fyfield *
The most under-rated crime writer in Britain today * Val McDermid *
