Mystery Police Procedural

“Sure to please…Grimes’ writing has rarely been more lovely.”—Chicago Tribune

“Wickedly clever…fans will rejoice.”—Chattanooga Times/Free Press A strange and unsolved case of abduction is reopened by Melrose Plant, reexamined by Richard Jury—and revisited by a killer…

In a pub called the Grave Maurice, Melrose Plant overhears the intriguing story of fifteen-year-old Nell Ryder, granddaughter of the owner of Ryder Stud Farm in Cambridgeshire, the heart of Britain’s racing world. The girl was abducted nearly two years before and has never been heard from since. The tale is especially fascinating to Melrose Plant because the girl’s father is Richard Jury’s surgeon. Recuperating from gunshot wounds, Jury is in dire need of something to occupy his time, even if the case is as cold as a case can get…until another murder heats it up again.

“Plenty of wit, danger and fully rounded characters.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Atmospheric and moody…a compelling story.”—The Richmond Times-Dispatch
