Fifth novel in Edwards' highly-acclaimed Harry Devlin series
When a local arts charity, the Kavanaugh Trust, hires Liverpool lawyer and amateur detective Harry Devlin to contest the will of a former benefactor, little does Harry realise he's about to tackle his most intriguing case.
When a local arts charity, the Kavanaugh Trust, hires Liverpool lawyer and amateur detective Harry Devlin to contest the will of a former benefactor, little does Harry realise he's about to tackle his most intriguing case.
Soon afterwards, the Chairman of the Trust is found dead, fallen from the third floor window of a local hotel, and Harry cannot resist investigating further. What was Luke Dessaur doing there? Was it suicide? An accident? Or was he pushed?
As Harry is about to discover, beneath the respectable facade of the Kavanaugh Trust lie shocking secrets.
'Martin Edwards writes terrific crime novels about Harry Devlin, a charming but down-at-heel Liverpool solicitor with bruised emotions, a nice line in self-deprecation and a penchant for Mersey low-life' Marcel Berlins, Guardian
'Harry is a likeable man with a wry sense of humour . . . Good entertainment with no unnecessary frills' Sunday Telegraph
'With his acerbic observation, his complex platonic affairs and his paper-bound legal aid practice, Devlin is the perfect character to make probate law into suitable material for a thriller . . An enjoyable page-turner, full of jokes at the expense of the legal establishment' Law Society Gazette
'A murder mystery in the finest tradition' Legal Exectutive Journal
'Edwards puts a contemporary spin on many traditional ingredients. The result is his best book yet - literate, quirky and intelligent. The narrative is both psychologically plausible and intelligently plotted. Next one please.' Andrew Taylor, Tangled Web
