A Detective Inspector Challis murder mystery.

The Washington Post - Paul Skenazy

Disher keeps his style curt, his bits of dialogue short, his invasions of the psyche pointed. Weaving back and forth between the police and the criminals, and among the uniformed cops and detectives, Disher smoothly creates a choral portrait of the police and the people they work with and for, delivering a community of stories … a first-rate piece of crime writing: a dense, hard-nosed portrait of a world unto itself.
