The death of a prominent theatrical agent puts Detective Sergeant Jane Tennison, now assigned to the Gerald Road police station in Knightsbridge, in the middle of a brutal murder investigation.

The sixth in the Jane Tennison series, the story alternates between the points of view of Jane and her associate, Detective Sergeant Spencer Gibbs. The characters are well-drawn, realistic, and believable; the plot, twisting and sometimes surprising.

This finely-detailed police procedural is intriguing; the detectives follow up many avenues of investigation, often leading nowhere and Jane finds that those in charge don’t take her seriously. However, although there’s a resolution and neat wrap up for the main plot; a secondary plot involving corruption in the Flying Squad where Jane was previously assigned is brought to a successful conclusion, but there’s a loose thread or two left dangling as the story ends.
