Synopsis
Written by ''a sublimely elegant historical novelist as addictive as crack'' (Daily Telegraph), the Inspector Troy series is perfect for fans of Le Carré, Philip Kerr and Alan Furst.
1959.
An old flame has returned to Troy''s life: Kitty Stilton, now wife of an American presidential hopeful, has come back to London, and with her, an unwelcome guest.
Private eye Joey Rork has been hired to make sure Kitty''s amorous liaisons don''t ruin her husband''s political career. But before Rork can dig any dirt, he meets a gruesome end...
But he isn''t the only one, and with the body-count mounting is it possible that the blood trail leads back to Troy''s police force and into his own forgotten past?

About the Author
John Lawton worked for Channel 4 for many years, and, among many others, produced Harold Pinter's 'O Superman', the least-watched most-argued-over programme of the 90s. He has written seven novels in his Troy series, two Joe Wilderness novels, the standalone Sweet Sunday, a couple of short stories and the occasional essay. He writes very slowly and almost entirely on the hoof in the USA or Italy, but professes to be a resident of a tiny village in the Derbyshire Peak District. He admires the work of Barbara Gowdy, TC Boyle, Oliver Bleeck, Franz Schubert and Clara Schumann - and is passionate about the playing of Maria Joao Pires. He has no known hobbies, belongs to no organisations and hates being photographed.
Review
Few novelists have given me more pleasure in recent years than John Lawton. * Washington Post * The 50s atmosphere is acutely reproduced by John Lawton...Classy stuff. * Guardian * The period atmosphere, illustrated with credible characters, is impeccable and the writing elegantly precise. * Daily Telegraph * This book has a pace and a flavour that is racy, rakish and addictive. * Literary Review *
