Fans of Turnbull's Hennessey and Yellich series will immediately recognize his distinctive writing style and dry wit in this new series featuring London-based Detective Inspector Harry Vicary. In Vicary's second outing, he and his team must solve the puzzling case of a man's frozen body found on Hampstead Heath. Under the man's body, a shallow grave is discovered containing the remains of a young woman who appears to have been strangled. With this grisly discovery, the case turns from straightforward and routine to complex and dark, with a link leading to one of London's drug kingpins. A well-written, cleverly crafted police procedural that starts off slowly and builds to a tense finish.
