Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic crime paperbacks, she spends her days hunting for the rarest of the rare in the charity shops and book sales of suburban London. The most elusive prize of all, her white whale, a set of Sleuth Hound novels. A complete set of those would solve all her problems. By chance she discovers such a set. The only problem? The owner of the books turns out to be a violent criminal... A love letter to Agatha Christie murder mysteries and classic whodunnits.
