Death Watch

'An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

A Bill Slider Mystery

The lot of the working copper is getting harder: new regulations, regular rousting by the top brass, a budget tighter than a Victoria corset and a DC who thinks he's in a John Le Carre novel makes it a trying time for Detective inspector Bill Slider.

Then when a noted womanizer dies in mysterious fire in a sleazy motel and the whole of his murky past comes to light, Slider begins to question whether this was suicide... or murder.

And that's not the only thing Slider is questioning. As soon as he's solved the motel mystery, Bill is going to have to put his own house in order...
