A Sloan and Crosby Mystery
by Catherine Aird
DCI Sloan and Constable Crosby are on the case again. A young girl has been murdered, found dead in the river. But what connection does she have to the recently deceased Josephine Short? Following the twisting trail of evidence, Sloan works to uncover the truth behind the life of Josephine Short and uncover the murderer behind a young girl's death.

"The latest in Aird's long string of slyly humorous mysteries featuring Sloan and Crosby is a classic English police procedural sure to delight her many fans." - Kirkus
