Items related to Lovely Mover (Thorndike Mystery)
Up-and-coming drug lord Keith Vine likes the fine work his best pusher, Eleri ap Vaughan, but when her eye wanders to another supplier, he kills her. Her death is intended as a message, but instead it sets off a murderous struggle for turf. At the center is a lurking stranger, "Lovely Mover", who seems to be planning an invasion. Detective Chief Inspector Colin Harpur, working undercover as Vine's supposed partner, now finds himself in increasing danger, and only one person suspects what he's up to -- his sneering superior ACC Desmond Iles, a man it is risky to trust. Before the story reaches its exciting conclusion, Harpur will be lucky to get out alive.

About the Author:
Bill James has been called "the Elmore Leonard of Britain's underworld" (Kirkus Reviews) and has been named a "Master of Crime" in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, "There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain's inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets." In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is the author of other mystery series and a book on Anthony Powell. He lives in Wales.
