Poe is confused - he hunts
Detective Sergeant Washington Poe is in court, fighting eviction from his beloved & isolated croft, when he is summoned to a backstreet in Carlisle where a man has been beaten to death with a baseball bat.
Poe is confused
- he hunts serial killers & this appears to be a straightforward murder-by-pimp
- but his attendance was requested personally, by the kind of people who prefer to remain in the shadows.
As Poe & the socially awkward programmer Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they are faced with seemingly unanswerable questions: despite being heavily vetted for a high-profile job, why does nothing in the victim's background check out? Why was a small ornament left at the murder scene
- & why did someone on the investigation team steal it? & what is the connection to a flawlessly executed bank heist three years earlier, a heist where nothing was taken...
