From Booklist
Fans of Harry Devlin will be happy to see that the Liverpool lawyer with an unquenchable hunger for justice is at the top of his form. The wife of one of Harry's richest clients, Jack Stirrup, has disappeared. Despite his misgivings, Harry agrees to look into the case, but the waters are soon muddied by the disappearance of Stirrup's daughter. Is Stirrup the victim of some nasty plot, or is he a double murderer? And what connection, if any, does a vicious rapist known only as "The Beast" have with the disappearances? As usual, Edwards nails the mixture of ambition and weariness that is central to Harry's character; unlike many legal-thriller protagonists, Harry is not a top-of-his-field attorney but rather a partner in a rather undistinguished little practice. An excellent entry in this increasingly popular series. David Pitt

Product Description
Harry Devlin is at it again, when he's asked to help his client, Jack Stirrup find out the truth of his missing wife's whereabouts. Has she been murdered? And if so, is Jack Stirrup guilty? Harry is just beginning to unravel the details when Stirrup's only daughter turns up missing as well. And there've been a number of rapes happening in the city lately by a perpetrator known only as "The Beast." Falling for Valerie Kaiwar's charms, Harry Devlin finds himself deeper and deeper into the mystery of Jack Stirrup's life and trailing certain suspects to find out who the Beast is. But will Harry be up to the challenge? And will he be able to hold onto Valerie's heart?
