Dead End

Cynthia Harrod Eagles

'An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

A Bill Slider Mystery

A call-out to a murder saves Detective Inspector Bill Slider from having to finish his canteen lunch but it presents him with the problem of a dead conductor. In life Sir Stefan Radek was seriously famous and terminally unpleasant but neither of these facts seems reason enough to gun him down.

But as Slider delves into the megastar's private life he finds there's no shortage of suspects as everyone seems tastelessly glad that Radek is dead. Lies lovers past and present and a hotbed of squabbles and financial shenanigans complicate the already tangled case.

And with Slider's lost love Joanna a witness to the crime his own life's jigsaw puzzle seems suddenly as complex as tracking down a most unlikely murderer...
