Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Lovers/sleuths Alison Hope and Inspector Nick Trevellyan part company for most of this uneven addition to the series begun with Hope Against Hope . Stylish Alison takes time off from her successful software company in Britain's Hop Valley for an incognito gig in London where she poses as a mousy programmer to unmask a malevolent computer hacker who is destroying an old friend's business. She finds a corpse beside a keyboard and an office full of suspects, including, unbeknownst to her, yet another undercover software spy. Meanwhile, Nick deals with the rape of a 13-year-old girl and a younger policewoman's troubling but tempting romantic attentions, which come at a rocky time in his and Alison's romance. Events severely test them both in a tale that spends as much time exploring their relationship as it does solving the two crimes. Pacing and clarity are a problem as Kelly fuzzily interlaces the crime puzzles with the sleuthing pair's emotional quandaries.

Series duo Alison Hope and Inspector Nick Trevellyan part ways to pursue two different crimes, one in London, one in the country. Satisfaction for the traditional British mystery enthusiast.
