Synopsis
When Liverpool solicitor and detective Harry Devlin takes on a client who has been taping his wife's telephone conversations with her lover, he gets more than he bargained for. The first mystery is the identity of Becky's boyfriend, whose voice Harry finds oddly familiar. Then, as a case of adultery slides frighteningly into conspiracy to murder, a trespasser makes a shocking discovery: three dead bodies in a converted church. Who are they? Who has killed them, and why? Trapped in a haze where neither victims nor apparent culprit are who they seem to be, Harry must go into the dark places of the human heart to find the answers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Stephen Whyatt, an uneasy man who has been taping his wife's telephone conversations with her lover, comes to Harry Devlin's law office wanting information about getting a divorce. But when Harry takes him on, he gets more than he bargained for. Becky's boyfriend's voice on the tapes is oddly familiar, and as he listens Harry begins to fear that more is at stake than adultery. Is it part of the story that Stephen's sinister brother is scheming to sell the family business - which seems to mean more to Stephen than his marriage does? When adultery slides frighteningly toward a case of murder, a trespasser makes a shocking discovery: three dead bodies in a converted church. Events gather speed, and the police conclude it's a case of suicide and double murder. But Harry thinks they have it wrong - and he must unmask the real killer before time runs out. Martin Edwards . . . writes terrific crime novels about Harry Devlin, a charming but down-at-heel solicitor with bruised emotions, a nice line in self-deprecation, and a penchant for Mersey low-life."The Guardian This item is printed on demand.
