When Newbury's newest resident, ex-diplomat Harry King, contacts estate agent and part-time PI Ben Abbott, Ben gleefully calculates the commission on selling King's beautiful estate, Fox Trot. But King doesn't want Ben's selling expertise, he wants a mediator between him and his troublesome neighbour, ex-Vietnam vet Ronnie Butler. Before Ben can help resolve the issue, Butler's ex-con son, Dickie, turns up dead – blown to pieces by an explosion on King's land, and Ben finds himself drawn ever deeper into a crime that tests his loyalties to friends, family and lovers, on both sides of the tracks.
"This is a sophisticated, intelligent novel, among the best of American crime-writing."
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
"Smooth, sardonic, impeccably argued, immaculately written."
