Book Description

Series: Bloodlines Series | Publication Date: March 21, 1997

Update of the noir tradition . . . that smoulders till you're ready to scream.""--Kirkus Reviews. This is John B. Spencer's fifth novel and his first not to feature Charley Case. Perhaps She'll Die! is set against the boom and gloom of `80s Britain. Giles was the kind of guy who could never say ""no"" to a woman...any woman. But when he tangled with Celeste, he made a very serious mistake. Celeste was married to Harry, and Harry walked a dark side of the street that Giles-with his comfortable lifestyle and fashionable media job-could only imagine in his worst nightmares. And when Harry got involved in nightmares, people had a habit of getting hurt. A witty, gritty, and tautly plotted journey into London's lower depths.

Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

It's a jungle out there for Giles, a main-chance London Live reporter, whether he's facing down the sharks at work, disporting himself with Celeste, a femme fatale of twice his years and 20 times his experience, or relaxing in the frazzled bosom of his wife Denise, who's just about had it with Giles's bits on the side. And now that Harry, the deal-making husband whose absence opened Celeste's rapacious legs to her latest lover, has returned from his business trip, Giles is about to find out just how much of a jungle it really is--unless, of course, Harry and Celeste find out first. Spencer's second US publication (Quake City, p. 340) updates the noir tradition by expanding the cast of misfits but cutting back on the criminal fireworks, leaving nothing but threats of action that smolder till you're ready to scream. -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.
