About the Author:
Jonathan Gash is the author of the bestselling Lovejoy mystery series (all available from Penguin). In addition to being a well-known antiques expert, he is a practicing medical doctor. He lives in Colchester, England.
From Booklist:
Readers familiar with Gash's hilarious Lovejoy novels may be surprised at the much darker tone of his new Dr. Clare Burtonall series. A talented physician, Burtonall is cool and competent on the job but unhappy at home, where she's trapped in a marriage of convenience with a husband who uses her prestigious position to cover up his illicit schemes. To relieve her anger, Clare has taken a lover, Bonn, a handsome male prostitute. Little does Clare suspect that Bonn is inextricably linked to the city's underworld, nor does she realize that the death of a young AIDS patient named Marie will lead her into Bonn's precarious world of drug addicts, thieves, and killers. As she lays dying, Marie begs Clare to deliver a final message to her boyfriend Jase. Feeling obligated to carry out the dying girl's wish, Clare sets out to find the elusive Jase, only to realize that she's entered an unforgiving world where life is cheap, and death and disaster come quickly to the weak and the disobedient. Brilliantly written, mysterious, menacing, and filled with unforgettable characters, this second Burtonall novel (following Different Women Dancing ) is another winner in an extraordinary new series, though it may find favor more with Carol O'Connell readers than with Lovejoy fans.
