Product Description

Gerald Kaufman, The Scotsman
"Does McDowall end [Making A Killing] with with a double bluff, a triple bluff or no bluff at all? Read and enjoy."

Product Description
Chief Inspector Jacobson is back from holiday, and wishing he wasn't. A notorious rapist is legally back on the streets and leading a media circus, and his boss' replacement has it in for him, so when an apparently open and shut case of murder occurs there should be no problem, should there?

5.0 out of 5 stars buy this book!!, 17 Mar 2002
By A Customer
A Study in Death was an impressive debut. Making A Killing impresses even more. McDowall takes all the usual ingredients of the detective story - cynical cops, corrupt rich guys, a body in the driveway - and turns them into something new and original. Jacobson and Kerr are the best new detectives in years and the writing is superb throughout. Moving, disturbing and sometimes wildly funny. Buy this book!!
