Book Description:
Scotland Yard superintendent Richard Jury recruits a reluctant Melrose Plant to solve a case of mistaken identity revolving around London's last bomb site-where once stood a pub called the Blue Last.
Richard Jury investigates a murder that may be connected to the recent discovery of two bodies--a woman's and an infant's, both dead since World War II--on the site of a London pub called the Blue Last.
The latest addition to the Richard Jury series finds Chief Inspector Michael Haggerty asking his old friend Jury to assist him in proving that the granddaughter of beer magnate Oliver Tynedale is in fact an imposter and that the real heiress died with her mother during the London Blitz.

I thought perhaps Martha Grimes had lost it and was weary of Richard Jury. She proves that she still has and had the stuff to write a page-turner. If you haven't read this series go out and start at the beginning. You will never regret it!

The beginning of this book was hard to follow. After that I became interested and couldn't wait to find out what happened
Marie P. from APPLE VALLEY, MN wrote on 2/19/2007...Another excellent plot with a twist at the end. The emotions of Richard Jury are more intense in the novel.
This book tells you about Richard Jury's childhood.
I really enjoy the characters in the Jury mysteries.
pub called Blue Lst is the site of a London bombing, the granchild supposedly survived..but did she?
Detective Chief Inspector Mickey Haggerty is dying from cancer and his work to complete his final case borders on obsession. Mickey begs his long time friend and fellow cop Richard Jury to take over the investigation because he knows Rich will not rest until he solves the investigation. Two skeletons were found amidst the ruins of THE BLUE LAST Pub. Forensics proves that the remains are that of a young woman and female infant killed during World War II.
Haggerty believes that the adult is Alexandra Tynedale, daughter of brewing magnate Oliver Tynedale. However, it is the infant that interests the dying cop. If she is who he thinks she is, then someone planted an impostor baby inside the Tynedale family and that child, now an adult, stands to inherit a fortune as the grandchild of a wealthy man. Though he wants nothing to remind him of the WW II bombings since his parents were killed by them, Rich begins to investigate for a friend. When a murder of a Tynedale friend occurs, Richard wonders if there is a tie to a cover- up of a five-decade-old scam or is Maisie really a Tynedale?
