At least it's a change of speed after the grind of domestics, burglaries and Community Liaison. <p/>But links to a cold case - another dead teenager, pulled out of the River Thames - create doubts as to whether they are indeed unrelated. And slowly a trail of corruption and betrayal is uncovered, leading Slider and his firm ever deeper into a morass of horror.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A crackling good story"-- "Publishers Weekly Starred Review"<br><br>"As usual, Harrod-Eagles offers up an attention-grabbing, fast-paced, engrossing police procedural with plenty of twists and a hero who's a gifted copper and a likable human being-- "Booklist"<br><br>A harrowing storyline brilliantly written.
