A bright, sharp first edition, first US printing of Mick Herron’s third novel, following Down Cemetery Road and The Last Voice You Hear.
When Zoë Boehm agrees to solve what appears to be a simple local jewellery shop robbery for a disproportionately generous fee, the investigation soon leads her to a strange cast of characters – a suicidal widower, a disgraced policeman, an abused wife – and she begins to suspect that the case is deeper and more hazardous than she’d bargained for.
