Inspector Morse in a smaller town. *Second in the Inspector Quantrill series - police procedurals set in an English market town; the first in the series, Death in the Morning, is about to go back to press after selling through its first print run in eight months. *Unusually beautiful cover, by the same artist used for Death in the Morning. *Intelligently written and richly textured; should appeal to fans of Deborah Crombie, Peter Robinson, and Caroline Graham - all masters of the murder in the little English village. *Unusually thoughtful and entertaining - The New Yorker. *Radley's characters come fully alive, with all their fears, frustrations, and secret desires - Publishers Weekly.
