A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Perhaps Edwards' greatest achievement in this excellent thriller is to sustain an almost novel-length red herring which, in a story of continual twists, isn't giving too much away' The Sunday Times

'Well written, well paced and wryly amusing . . . I haven't read a book with two more entertaining twists in the tail in years' Gerard Siggins, Sunday Tribune

'There's a dizzying cast of characters here . . .some excellent dialogue, a wonderful description of a typical solicitor's archives and a good account of what it takes to become a middle-aged belly dancer' Frances Fyfield, New Law Journal

'Martin Edwards twists and turns the plot so as to make second-guessing difficult. I read until the early hours only to find my pet theory shot to pieces' Solicitors Journal

'n especially fiendish plot' Liverpool Daily Post

Présentation de l'éditeur

On Leap Year Day in 1964, an attractive teenager called Carole Jeffries was strangled in a Liverpool park. The killing caused a sensation: Carole came from a prominent political family and her pop musician boyfriend was a leading exponent of the Mersey Sound. When a neighbour confessed to the crime, the case was closed. Now, more than thirty years later, Ernest Miller, an amateur criminologist, seeks to persuade lawyer Harry Devlin that the true culprit escaped scot free. Although he suspects Miller's motives, Harry has a thirst for justice and begins to delve into the past. But when another death occurs, it becomes clear that someone wants old secrets to remain buried. At any price.
