For a nasty case of blackmail leads inexorably to murder as London's literary establishment is rocked by a series of increasingly bizarre deaths. With three members of the London Crime Writers' Association coming to sudden and violent ends, what at first appeared to be a series of suicides looks suspiciously like murder - and there seems to be something horribly familiar about the various methods of despatch. <p/> With the help of his literary agent's assistant, the delectable Maria Dupre, Langham finds himself drawing on the skills of his fictional detective hero as he hunts a ruthless and fiendishly clever killer - a killer with old scores to settle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Charming characters and a consistently entertaining tone mark this crime debut from sci-fi veteran Brown"-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>"Readers will hope a sequel is in the works"-- "Publishers Weekly"<br>
