Product Description
"MILLIONAIRE KIDNAPPED - ENGLISH POLICEMAN NEEDED TO TAKE THE FALL!"
September, 1900. Inspector Sam Blackstone is still reluctantly seconded to the New York Police Department, and, to make matters worse, he finds himself in charge of an investigation no one else wants - the kidnapping of Big Bill Holt, a reclusive tycoon, and the brutal murder of his two bodyguards.
Who has snatched the Wolf of Wall Street? One of the many businessmen whose life he has ruthlessly destroyed? Or a criminal gang, eager to get its hands on his considerable fortune? The more Blackstone learns of the case, the less - it seems to him - he actually knows.
As Blackstone ploughs his way through the morass of lies and deceit which surrounds Holt and his family, he is aware that time is running out and that failure will not be tolerated.

The Wolf of Wall Street is a locked room mystery with a difference and features Sam Blackstone, the Scotland Yard detective who by default has been seconded to the New York Police Department. In a review it wouldn't be fair to state just how this particular locked room mystery is different, but take my word for it, it is!
As I've probably mentioned elsewhere I only started reading the Blackstone series because sadly, their author Sally Spencer had retired DCI Charlie Woodend her other creation. But now I'm reading them because they are good, very good indeed. At first I wasn't at all sure how this genial detective would fit in to the new location of New York, but he does so surprisingly well. He still manages to get up the noses of officialdom and as he does so, you know who's side you are on.
A very rich tycoon has been murdered or is at least missing from his palatial house on Coney Island. It is the job of Blackstone and his sidekick Alex Meade to discover the truth, or as Blackstone's bosses hope, fail to discover the truth. This is the second Blackstone novel which also features Alex Meade and he is already growing nicely into the role created for him.
I don't know if the sea around Coney Island is stocked with red herring, but a good few of them seem to have found there way into this excellent page turning mystery. Naturally in the end Blackstone gets his man (or is it woman), but not before a full quota of dead bodies have made cameo appearances. An enjoyable read which will keep you guessing up to and including the final page. Highly recommended!
