This is a first US edition hardback. Unread. Please not this was originally published under the title DEATH IN PROFILE by Urbane in 2012.
SYNOPSIS: “A series of ugly killings has shattered both the orderly workings of the Hampstead police station and the confidence of the lead investigator on the case. He has long taken pride in his old-school ‘copper’s nose’, but the only scent he’s picking up is the bitter stink of failure. The brass is bringing in a new chief, all tidy tailoring and university courses, and innovative policing techniques, but his luck isn’t any better. When yet another body turns up, the entire steam is stymied. So they reach back to the past, invoking the skills of one of the great Gentlemen Sleuths. Is this nutty? No doubt. But Lord Peter Wimsey always got his man!”
Packed weight 570gms.
