Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Richard Cullis, Director of R&D at Gloucester Chemicals, is a serial womanizer with the morals of an alley cat. When he keels over at a company dinner, and the postmortem reveals that he was poisoned with the deadly drug ricin, detectives Lambert and Hook have no shortage of suspects. Nearly everyone who worked for Cullis bore a grudge against the man, and while ricin is extremely hard to come by, every scientist working in the R&D Department had access to it. Among the many suspects: the researcher Cullis raped, the scorned woman with whom he had a torrid affair, the animal-rights sympathizer who’s working undercover in the lab, the man Cullis recently fired, and the woman he passed over for promotion. This fine police procedural extends the excellent reputation Gregson has established with his highly entertaining Lambert and Hook series. --Emily Melton

Review
There is a mole in the ranks of Gloucester Chemicals, and an animal rights group threatens a top executive if the company does not release its animals. Worse, that same executive rapes one of the company's female scientists. When the man is poisoned at a company golf tournament, there are unsurprisingly a number of suspects confronting detectives Hook and Lambert. Inspector Peach series author Gregson has a style that can be likened to that of Peter Turnbull and Claire Curzon. For collections where British procedurals circulate --Library Journal, 1st November 2008
