The 25th installment of the acclaimed Harpur & Iles series by mystery master Bill James.
Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles’s absence from a police undercover conference sets the stage for the moral and practical dilemmas faced by one of his colleagues, ACC Esther Davidson, as she works to bring down the largest gang operating in her sector. The role of undercover agents—or “out-located” officers—is brought into sharp focus as James masterfully unfolds the story of Davidson’s decision to infiltrate the gang against the events of the resulting court case.€36.99
About the author
Bill James has been called ‘the Elmore Leonard of Britain’s underworld’ (Kirkus Reviews) and has been named a ‘Master of Crime’ in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, ‘There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain’s inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets.’ In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is the author of other mystery series and a book on Anthony Powell. He lives in Wales.
