This is an amazing book of crime (a double murder) and of self discovery by the main protaganist, Chief Inspector Simon Grant.  As Grant starts investigating the murder of a woman it becomes apparant that it is similar to the murder of a another woman 15 years ago - when Grant was in college.  The book follows Grant on the investigation and, by flash-backs, looks into Grant's life along with the lives of a number of potential suspects. You need to pay attention to the dates at the begining of each chapter since the book flips back and forth from the past to the present.  There are numerous potential suspects - some painfully close to Grant's own life.  Mixed into all of this is Grant's examination of his own personal life - his love for his wife's sister and his affair with her and another woman.  There is a lot going on in this book.
