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 ""

Book Description Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. C'est par un ami que Richard Jury, le célèbre commissaire de New Scotland Yard, rencontre Tom Williamson. Ce dernier le supplie de rouvrir une vieille affaire : seize ans auparavant, sa femme Tess a été retrouvée morte au pied de l'escalier de leur propriété du Devon. À l'époque, la police ne s'était pas prononcée sur les causes du décès, accidentel a priori. Mais Tom, lui, a toujours cru à une mise en scène. Sans compter la chute mortelle d'une fillette, survenue six ans avant la mort de Tess, dans un des bassins vides de ce même jardin. Et d'étranges similitudes que constate également le commissaire. Et, à peine Jury commence-t-il à fouiner sur place, que deux nouvelles morts suspectes viennent assombrir cet étrange tableau, composé de chutes et de vertiges. " Martha Grimes signe un brillant roman mâtiné de suspense et d'humour. " La Gazette Nord-Pas de Calais - Nombre de page(s) : 474 - Poids : 244g - Langue : ANGLAIS (ETATS-UNIS) - Genre : Policier / Thriller format poche THRILLER. Seller Inventory # O3130615-666
