Book Description:
Richard Jury embarks on the darkest investigation of his career when the dead body of a young London girl leads to the cold case of a missing girl in Launceston-an unsolved mystery that has haunted Police Officer Brian Macalvie for years.
Vintage Martha Grimes! Wonderful "mystery-in-the-past" with the usual clever repartee between Plant and Jury. A delight with a surprise ending.
