A Luis Mendoza novel. “Luis Mendoza can always be sure of one thing: that his squad has in hand a variety of tricky, tragic and horrific cases. Just now there’s the unidentified corpse who turns out to have been a postman with a peculiar problem; the fortune teller who tells one fortune too many (or too few); the theatre box-office hold-ups, each when the takings are at their peak; the Greek who fixes himself when he fixes up a marriage; the rapist who snatches little girls off the streets; the Chinese boat people who know dangerously little about American conventions; and the very bizarre problem of the children poisoned in a church.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
