Beautiful Diana Calthrop was last seen breaking hearts in The Innocent Spy as an MI5 operative in the finest couture. But it's now several years on, and Diana is looking a little tarnished, her catastrophic taste in men catching up at last.
Could Inspector Ted Stratton, that sturdy, straightforward copper be her rescuer? First he'd have to rescue himself: With his wife dead, his children distant, and a case he just can't shake, Stratton's nursing his own depression like an old war wound. (Originally published in England as A Capital Crime)

Laura Wilson is an award-winning British writer of historical crime fiction, as well as a crime reviewer. She lives in London.
If A Capital Crime initially draws its material from real-life murder and duplicity, Wilson ultimately offers a persuasive refashioning of history and moves into dark terra incognita. Don't think that because you know the facts of the Christie case, you'll be outguessing Detective Inspector Stratton. But you'll enjoy trying. (The Independent (UK))
Historical crime fiction at its best. (The Guardian)
