SIX UNFORGETTABLE BRITISH CRIME NOVELS FROM A BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
Meet Detective Inspector Bill Slider — West London CID’s sharpest, driest-witted policeman.
Slider’s countryman father taught him how to read the world: a flattened patch of grass, a hair caught on a hedge, a broken spider’s web. Those same instincts, transplanted to the streets of Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush, have made him a thorn in the side of his bosses and a quiet legend with the rank and file.
A disgraced BBC correspondent is found dead in his Hammersmith flat. A teenage girl is murdered on Wormwood Scrubs on a Bank Holiday morning. A young woman vanishes from her West London bedsit, and her elderly neighbour knows more than he wants to say. A man is found bled white in a bath in a Victorian attic.
Six investigations. One detective who doesn’t miss a thing.
With his urbane sergeant Atherton at his side, his violinist wife at home, and a boss who would rather face a corpse than a committee, Slider sees what the rest of the Met cannot. The cases are riddled with suspects, secrets and the small lies of London. He puts them together one piece at a time.
Witty, intelligent, and quietly devastating — British crime writing at its very best.
For fans of Reginald Hill, P.D. James, Ruth Rendell and Inspector Morse.
Please note these are books 11-16 in the series, but can be read without reading the first ten books first.
