The former publisher and owner of London's famed Murder One bookshop offers up his first full-length mystery. When you're a private detective and life's dealing you all the wrong cards, you can never afford to say no to a case. Two strangers come through the investigator's door on that fateful day -- one sad husband looking for his missing wife, and a gorgeous redhead anxious to find her little sister and a stolen rare book. The investigation takes the PI from London to Amsterdam and then to New Orleans and New York, as the search for two missing women curiously coincides. Then there's Cornelia, a woman who combines the roles of hit woman, strip-tease artist and book collector, a woman whose path it is better not to cross. No wonder things start to turn very sour, indeed.
