Items related to Orchestrated Death
Bill Slider, a middle-aged, straight-arrow London cop, finds his life thrown into passionate disarray by the murder of a mysterious young violinist. The writing is irresistibly clever and heavily laced with the very best puns, many of which work best with an English accent. The character, for instance, who has a cat named Oedipus? To an American, that?s not particularly amusing. But take a minute to remember that the Brits pronounce the name with a long ?e???EE -dipus.? The cat, after all, is aptly named, because ?Ee-da-puss wot lives ?ere.?

From the Back Cover:
Slider would rather do things his own way, even if that means rubbing the brass the wrong way. He may never make it from London's Metropolitan Police to the more glamorous ranks of Scotland Yard, but to his sergeant, Atherton, he's the best there is.
From Publishers Weekly:
In this masterful debut, a beleaguered British detective struggles to solve a series of murders that shake up the world of classical music.
