About the Author
Ashford was born in London and published his first book in 1951 and his writing career rapidly overtook his legal one, including the famous Inspector Alvarex series.
From Booklist
Alec Metcalfe is a policeman with principles--an admirable trait, but combined with his obstinacy and utter disregard for authority, it's kept him from rising to officer rank. Nearing retirement, Alec is dreading the boring days ahead. But when fellow detective Frank Tobin is found dead, Alec gets one last chance at the detective work he loves. The biggest obstacle to pursuing the case is Tobin's marriage to Victoria Wyatt, the daughter of one of the area's wealthiest scions. Her father is determined not to embroil his family in a messy, high-profile murder case. The only person willing to answer Alec's questions is Victoria's Aunt Charlotte, and even she proves to be evasive. When Alec's retirement day arrives, his superiors decide the few clues don't merit further investigation and close the case. But Alec can't let go, and as he follows up, his mantra of "Justice is truth, truth is justice" is severely tested. Ashford's latest is creatively plotted, but it's his exploration of truth, guilt, and morality that makes this book such an intriguing, thought-provoking read. Emily Melton
