'An outstanding series' – NEW YORK TIMES Detective Inspector Bill Slider and his team investigate the murder of a secretive young woman in the twelfth entry in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' critically acclaimed crime series. Zellah Wilding – straight-A student, prefect, future Head Girl – lies dead near the famous Wormwood Scrubs prison in London. What was this good girl from a strict Christian family doing out there, dressed to kill, when she was supposed to be at a sleep-over with school friends? And who would want to kill her? Could it be Zellah's secret boyfriend? Or, could the nearby fairground or the proximity to the local prison have something to do with it? The mysteries only seem to proliferate as the investigation progresses, and the more Bill Slider knows, the less he understands about this very secretive girl . . . Written with Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' signature sharp plotting and dry wit, this hard-hitting character-driven mystery is a must-read police procedural for fans of Mick Herron, Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson. Praise for the Bill Slider series: ‘Slider and his creator are real discoveries’ Daily Mail ‘Sharp, witty and well-plotted’ Times ‘Harrod-Eagles and her detective hero form a class act. The style is fast, funny and furious - the plotting crisply devious’ Irish Times
