An even more unlikely detective. And a cold case that&apos;s resurfacing with deadly consequences.<br /></b><br />Umiko Wada has recently had quite enough excitement in her life. With her husband recently murdered and a mother who seems to want her married again before his body is cold, she just wants to keep her head down.<br /><br />As a secretary to a private detective, her life is pleasingly uncomplicated, filled with coffee runs, diary management and paperwork.<br /><br />That is, until her boss takes on a new case. A case which turns out to be dangerous enough to get him killed. A case which means Wada will have to leave Japan for the first time and travel to London.<br /><br />Following the only lead she has, Wada quickly realises that being a detective isn&apos;t as easy as the television makes out. And that there&apos;s a reason why secrets stay buried for a long time. Because people want them to stay secret. And they&apos;re prepared to do very bad things to keep them that way...<br /><br /><b>What readers are saying:</b><br /><br />***** &apos;Guaranteed and satisfying escapism&apos;<br /><b>***** &apos;Twists and turns right up to the last page&apos;</b><br />***** &apos;Edge-of-the-seat stuff&apos;<br /><b>***** &apos;Fresh and inventive&apos;</b><br />***** &apos;The master of twists and suspense ... sublime&apos;<br /><b>***** &apos;Scintillating and wickedly twisty&apos;</b></p>
