Synopsis

A dangerous book. A hidden secret. A deadly betrayal.

The Oxford Literary Festival is in full swing, but Detective Inspector Bridget Hart isn't there to learn about books. Instead she's been given the task of protecting Diane Gilbert, a controversial author who has received a death threat. Diane doesn't seem to think she needs Bridget's protection, but when the worst happens, Bridget's role switches to running a murder enquiry.

The only clues Bridget has to go on relate to Diane's new book which examines the murky world of international arms deals. Under pressure to identify the killer, Bridget finds herself drawn into the clandestine world of foreign governments and the British Security Service. She'll need all her wiles and the full cooperation of her team to follow the twisting trail of evidence to its logical conclusion.

Great improvement. Vastly better than the previous novel. Louise is an overly assertive and domineering sixth year old lecturer at Oxford. She is of the opinion that her view is the right one and is completely intolerant of anyone else's point of view is incorrect. She has written a book based on her b......more

Goodreads review by Walter on September 06, 2023

It was the by now usual pattern of the series: the murderer is a seemingly unimportant and innocent character who made a very short appearance at the beginning of the investigation (admitted: I choose the wrong one of the two candidates). But the twists and turns to get there, the chaos in the perso......more
