Dead End

Inspector Bill Slider confirms his place among those intelligent fictional British coppers whose presence guarantees a satisfying read. After Sir Stefan Radek, conductor of the Royal London Philharmonic, is fatally shot during a rehearsal, Slider suspects the case will be a ‘domestic’. After nabbing the shooter, Slider senses that something about catching the right man is itself wrong, as wrong as his estrangement from Joanna. To the remaining question – can the fallible man put things, personal and professional, right – Harrod-Eagles offers an intricate, credible reply.
