Product Description

Product Description

Laura Principal, Private Investigator, is having the time of her life. Her business and her relationship with her lover Sonny are both flourishing. Then, out of the blue, Laura hears from the girl with whom she shared her adolescence in Bristol. She hasn't heard from Claire for many years and Laura's pursuit of a lost photograph of her, leads her to another lost girl. Delivering a contract to the home of a client, Laura leaves it with a Filipino girl. 24 hours later the girl has disappeared without trace. Laurasenquirires take her from the House of Commons to a middle Eastern Embassy, from Kensington to Earl's Court, from a lovely garden in Kent to a crisis centre in Notting Hill Gate and then back to Cambridge for yet another investigation. Along the way Laura uncovers a trail of injustice, commercial exploitation and neglect. In getting to the truth, she learns 1 or 2 things about herself....

4.0 out of 5 stars Picked up on a whim. Enjoyed it greatly..., 10 May 2000
By A Customer
Like Ian Rankin's Rebus stories, only much lighter, this is a brilliantly human book packed with great narrative descriptions and a surprisingly involving plot. It is also at times quite astutely witty and becomes all the more enjoyable for it. Full of well-eteched (but not overly so) characters and decent plot developments, it was for me an unexpected pleasure. Most certainly worth a read.
