'An outstanding series' - NEW YORK TIMES
Detective Inspector Bill Slider and his team investigate the murder of a rich doctor with a mysterious past in the thirteenth entry in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' critically acclaimed crime series.
Dr. David Rogers was handsome, charming and rich. He lived a lavish lifestyle - expensive clothes, top restaurants, exclusive clubs - until someone shot him dead in the hallway of his million-plus-pound house.
When Bill Slider and his team are called to the scene, they're thrown head-first into the mystery of why someone wanted the doctor dead. Was the motive passion, professional jealousy, or plain old money?
The investigation reveals a more turbulent career behind the Dirty Doctor than at first appeared: a shadowy organisation called the Windhover Trust, and a trail of bodies leading to a deadlier conclusion . . .
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.
