A pacy murder mystery thrillingly navigating the highways and byways of contemporary Britain – great characters, irreverent plotting and a little humour. The first title in the Tartaruga imprint.

  • By Jim Pollard

  • Failure to complete may incur a penalty

“I read it in one sitting. Always the sign of a good book. Very engaging and so topical. Great choice for a book group.”
