Award-winning ex-Guardian hack Phoebe Agnew has a reputation for attacking the police in print. So, when her strangled body is found in her chaotic flat, Detective Inspector Bill Slider must abide by the impartiality of the law and find her killer. On the day of her death, the seemingly undomesticated Agnew cooked an elaborate meal for someone. It may have been her old friend and reputed lover, the government advisor Josh Prentiss, but his powerful Home Office friends are pressuring Slider to look elsewhere. Unidentified fingerprints, missing items, alibis offered when not required – Slider is under pressure to untangle this web of lies and hidden relationships. For Phoebe Agnew was concealing a secret, which someone was willing to kill – and kill again – to protect.

Praise for the Bill Slider series:

Slider and his creator are real discoveries.

Daily Mail

Sharp, witty, and well-plotted.

Times

Harrod-Eagles and her detective hero form a class act. The style is fast, funny, and furious – the plotting crisply devious.
