A young woman is dumped, injured and unconscious, in a private hospital's parking lot. She is an amnesiac with no memory prior to her discovery by hospital personnel. Detective Inspector Peter Diamond of the Bath homicide squad is unwilling to become involved. He has other, more important cases to solve: a woman has plunged to her death from the roof of a local landmark while half the young people of Bath partied below, and an elderly farmer has shot himself.

Are these apparent suicides what they seem, or are there sinister forces at work? And might the amnesiac woman hold the key to both cases?

Critic reviews

"Such a tangled plot would snare an author of less skill, but Lovesey maintains virtuosic control and delivers an unmistakable highlight in a long career already well-garlanded with awards and acclaim." ( Publishers Weekly)

The characters are very real with a sprinkling of humor that is welcome. The story is complex enough to keep your attention.

This one is a winner!

So a woman protects an innocent young woman by hiding her from a killer. But had she turned him into the police in the first place, another young woman’s life would have been spared. So why does Diamond tell her she saved Rose his life? It’s ridiculous. In what possible way does this make sense?

Really?

This is the third time I have come across a reader who always says "a" to rhyme with "hay" instead of "fluff". It drives you crazy. Readers must STOP doing this. Another reader always said "thee" for "the", never "thuh" which is how most of us pronounce "the".
The story is not like most Peter Diamond books, in that it is mostly bout the protagonist, less about the detection. Not the best, but we addicts will accept anything with Peter Diamond in it.

Not the best.
