London: Headline (Hodder), (1996) dj. Hardcover first edition - The third book in this highly praised series featuring Detective Inspector Charlie Priest of the Yorkshire force, and written with a wry humor. Priest is officially on sick leave, but this ends abruptly when Mrs. Marina Norris's chauffeur is found dead from unnatural causes - that is, a blast to the head from a Kalashnikov - and she hasn't been home since the murder. Her husband - an American tobacco tycoon - is distinctly unfazed by the murder and his missing wife. Meanwhile, drug smugglers on the Hull to Rotterdam run also demand Priest's attention. 313 pp. ISBN: 0-747213658.
