Wolves of Memory
A Harpur & Iles Mystery
Bill James
A large, carefully plotted cash-in-transit raid goes hopelessly awry when armed policemen intervene to seize the perpetrators. Relatives and friends of the incarcerated are convinced that informationthe date, the timehad to have been leaked by the only man to escape before his arrest. Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles are delegated the job of hiding and protecting the informant and his family.
With an unruly informantwhose reckless behavior serves to aid an angry mobon their hands, Harpur and Iles find themselves faced with their toughest assignment to date.
Most other British police writers are foam rubber truncheons to James's iron riot baton.
Time Out
[Bill James] transcends what can often be a stale mystery sub-genre to produce novels that are startling, achingly funny and sometimes wholly surreal. Essential reading.
