A painful story of an oppressive domestic tragedy and the compassionate insight of a remarkable detective. ‘A truly wonderful writer … marvellously readable – lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates ofrun-down hotels, cold, dark barges, quayside canal-taverns, lurking prostitutes, pot-bellied burghers, taciturn youths, slippery barmen’ – Muriel Spark, Sunday Times
