Starred Review
br DCI Bill Slider tackles the coldest of cold cases in this absorbing
mystery.
A young couple discover human remains buried in the garden of their new
house: could this be the resting place of 14-year-old Amanda Knight, who
disappeared from the same garden two decades before, and was never seen
again?
The problem comes almost as a relief to DCI Slider, still suffering from
the fallout of his previous case. He is not popular with the Powers That
Be, and his immediate boss, Detective Superintendent Porson, reckons
that at least this little puzzle will keep Slider out of trouble. After
all, with a murder twenty years in the past, this is the coldest of cold
cases. Most of the suspects and principal players are now dead too, and
all passion is long spent ... Or is it?
