‘An outstanding series’ – NEW YORK TIMES
The clock is ticking for Detective Inspector Bill Slider and his team as they attempt to track down a missing woman in the twenty-fourth entry in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' critically acclaimed crime series.
Felicity Holland is missing.
She left her handsome West London house to go to her weekly pottery class and didn’t come back. She’s a mature, sensible woman with a stable home life and a happy marriage – no reason to abscond. Her distraught husband is convinced she must have been snatched.
DCI Bill Slider and his team know that when a woman goes missing, you have to move fast if there’s to be a hope of finding her alive. But with no evidence of foul play – nothing to go on at all – where do you even start looking?
The clock is ticking. But as Slider tries to retrace the last known movements of Felicity Holland, he is led ever further down a dark and twisted path into the secret past of this beautiful, enigmatic woman.
Written with Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' signature sharp plotting and dry wit, this hard-hitting character-driven mystery is a must-read police procedural for fans of Mick Herron, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson.
