About this title

Review:

"An outstanding collection for anyone who values the crime short story." Booklist on The Sixth Man and other Stories 'So understated in its silky menace that you might think it had actually been written by Henry James' Kirkus Reviews on Hear Me Talking To You"

Synopsis:

Harpur and Iles go after the gangs who, in shooting at each other, accidentally gunned down a born-again Christian who was innocently posting tracts. Claud Montagne, the lurid crook who pimped Iles's favourite streetwalker Honoree, turns up dead in the car park of the not-quite-respectable club he used to frequent. Harpur sets up a tough young woman to run an undercover job - despite the fact that Iles is adamantly, life-threateningly against undercover work. All is not well in the underworld...With two entirely new Harpur and Iles stories, three more never before published together, plus a spicy little interlude with some crooks from the series and a fistful of other tales from the seamier side of life, this anthology is a must-read for fans of Bill James's dark, gritty thrillers.
