Synopsis

‘This often comic tale sharpens the appetite for more.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

*Recently promoted......but already Rafferty suspects he’s made a bad mistake.*Because his new boss, with whom he shares a mutual loathing, would love to see him fail. That’s why he’s given Rafferty the case of the ‘Faceless Lady’ to lead. It’s a Poisoned Chalice.*When the news media gleefully pounce and Christen it with a phrase designed to sell newspapers, Rafferty realises the spotlight is going to be relentless. The poor girl has been bludgeoned beyond recognition, has no ID, and also had no access to the secure psychiatric facility where her dead body is found.*Rafferty swears he must have been born under an unlucky star. Because at the same time as he tries his best to do justice to the victim, he’s got another tricky problem, courtesy of his Ma.*Rafferty unfortunately comes from a large family who believe obeying the Law of the Land is optional. So when his Ma persuades him that his cousin, Jailhouse Jack, deserves a Get Out Of Jail free card, he has his doubts. *What Jack--and Rafferty --needs is a miracle. And they’re in even shorter supply that GOOJ free cards.*And keeping it downwind of his morally stiff new partner might also be a demand too far.*But Rafferty's sworn to do his best by the young girl who died so dreadfully. And is determined to find her murderer. Even if his pedantic partner criticises his every move. Even if his boss tosses him on the scrapheap.*She deserves justice. And Rafferty means to ensure she gets it.*

First in the Rafferty & Llewellyn 18-Novel Mystery Series
