Richard Jury, celebre commissaire de New Scotland Yard, rencontre, par l'intermediaire d'un ami commun, Tom Williamson. Ce dernier le supplie de rouvrir un vieux dossier: celui de son epouse, Tess, decouverte sans vie, seize ans plus tot, au pied de l'escalier de leur manoir du Devon. A l'epoque, la police avait conclu a un vertige ayant entraine sa chute. Cependant, Williamson est intimement persuade qu'elle a ete assassinee et qu'un lien doit etre fait avec le deces d'une petite fille, survenu dans leur jardinquelques annees auparavant... Ce jour-la, cinq autres enfants du voisinage etaient presents. Mais, alors que Jury tente de les retrouver pour reconstituer les faits, deux meurtres ont lieu quasi simultanement dans la region. Toutes ces morts, si eloignees soient-elles dans le temps, seraient-elles liees? Au terme d'une enquete qui emprunte autant a l'art des faux-semblants d'Hitchcock qu'aux romans moraux de Thomas Hardy, Jury se distingue une nouvelle fois avec brio."

Review:
It'sbeen four years since I had a chance to delight in the company ofSuperintendent Richard Jury of Scotland Yard and I'm so glad he's back. Heand his colleagues are grand companions. Once again, Martha Grimes has writtena whodunit with terrific characters and a grand plot mixed with her uniquedroll wit. Vertigo 42 is one smart mystery!--Susan Isaacs, bestselling author of The Goldberg Variations

Gloriously quirky...Grimes is no slouch at creating vivid characters.--The Seattle Times

Four years is much too long to go without a wonderfully loopy Martha Grimes mystery featuring her Scotland Yard detective, Superintendent Richard Jury, and his eccentric friends and their dogs. A forlorn Staffordshire terrier named Stanley makes an appearance in Vertigo 42, as do a winsome stray named Joey and some unnamed pit bulls victimized in a cruel dogfighting racket operating under the radar in London. Hurting an animal is like betraying a friend to Grimes, who draws on literature to develop her themes of friendship and loyalty and extend them to Jury s murder case.--Marilyn Stasio "The New York Times ""

Like all great satirists, Ms. Grimes sees the world from the other side of the looking glass and invites us to come along for a wild and wacky ride. --Nelson DeMille, bestselling author of The Panther
