DC Gary Goodhew is intelligent, intuitive and the youngest detective at Cambridge's Parkside Station. He is the first on the scene when the body of a young woman is discovered on Midsummer Common and for the first time in his career is given the chance to work on a murder investigation.
Soon there is an identity for the victim: Lorna Spence. Richard Moran, her boyfriend and employer, has reported her missing and is distraught to discover that she has been killed. He claims she was loved by his staff and his sisters, reserved Alice and vulnerable Jackie. He says she had no enemies but it isn't long before Goodhew discovers plenty, including her high maintenance colleague Victoria and Goodhew's reckless former classmate Bryn.
They both swear that they have nothing to do with Lorna's death but Goodhew knows someone is lying. Then there is another brutal murder and Goodhew knows it is time to use his own initiative to flush out the killer, even though it means risking his job and discovering the truth about the one person he hopes will be innocent.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT, SIGNED, LINED, DATED & LOCATED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. Book as new, unread, FINE/FINE condition. Includes PROMO POSTCARD. Review A clever young detective almost puts paid to his career in his first murder investigation.DC Gary Goodhew is well-educated, well-off and intense. The youngest detective at Cambridge's Parkside Station, he has taken to sending helpful anonymous tips to his boss DI Marks. While out on what he considers a routine interview, he's alerted to the corpse of an attractive young woman with "I'm like Emma" written on the palm of each hand. The late Lorna Spence worked at the Excelsior Clinic, dated her boss Richard Moran and was a friend to his sister Alice. Paired with smart, ambitious, unfaithful DC Kincaide, Goodhew soon wanders off on his own path of investigation after he finds that an old schoolmate was an acquaintance of the dead girl. The Moran family becomes a center of interest when Richard's younger sister Jackie, who lives in the country with her beloved horses, is named a possible suspect in a cold case: the disappearance of Jackie's college friend Emma after she briefly dated Richard. Though Goodhew irritates his boss by working well outside police protocol, his quirky methods ultimately solve the mystery.A pleasingly different police procedural. (Kirkus Reviews).
