About the Author:
Bill James has been called ""the Elmore Leonard of Britain's underworld"" (Kirkus Reviews) and has been named a ""Master of Crime"" in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, ""There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain's inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets."" In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is the author of other mystery series and a book on Anthony Powell. He lives in Wales.
From Publishers Weekly:
At the start of this run-of-the-mill contemporary police procedural from British veteran James, best known for his Harpur and Iles series (Easy Streets, etc.), Det. Constable Sharon Mayfield spots the horribly disfigured corpse of Claude Huddart in a parked car. Suspecting that Huddart was a police informant, the ambitious young officer hopes to use this information to advance her career. Before long, Mayfield begins to wonder whether her superiors in the force may be involved in Huddart's death. James often renders his heroine's thoughts as numbered bullet points, a device that some will find more distracting than edifying. In addition, the lazy shorthand the characters sometimes speak (Spying can be thought of as an odious trade, yet think of Alec Guinness in Smiley's People on DVD) can be off-putting. The main plot, which centers on official corruption, is nothing new, and a lead who's more Bridget Jones than Insp. Jane Tennison doesn't bode well for any sequels. (Mar.)
