Heffernan, William

Listeners will surely want other books in the series. ["A readable, tidy police procedural that echoes any number of popular television series": LJ 8/10 review of the Akashic hc.]

Mystery fans will zip through this, fans of historical fiction will enjoy the fin de guerre mood, but this novel is more noted for its characters and atmosphere than for an imaginative or mystifying plot.

In his first new novel in seven years, Edgar Award winner Heffernan (Tarnished Blue) delivers a readable, tidy police procedural that echoes any number of popular television series, from The Mentalist to Criminal Minds, whose many fans will find this series debut enjoyable, if not familiar.
