Booklist Reviews 2019 June #1
It's 1969, and London is peering into a new age defined by rock music, free love, and the Cold War. Old-school copper Cathal Breen and his girlfriend, former WPC Helen Tozer, anxiously await their first child's birth. In the meantime, Cathal investigates the beating death of Julie Teenager, a prostitute who drew clients by masquerading as a young teen. And Helen, unable to resist the lure of unanswered questions, is drawn toward the rumors of foul play surrounding former Rolling Stones member Brian Jones' supposedly accidental drowning. In 1969, London's sex and music scenes often intermingle, and Helen veers into Cathal's case when she discovers that a female driver employed by Jones and Teenager has also been attacked. Any hopes Cathal had of his case shaping up to be an easily solved crime of passion are crushed when Teenager's secretary is murdered, a dirty cop sabotages his case, and MI6 threatens to halt his investigation. Teenager's violent, evasive killer and Cathal and Helen's evolving, unsettled relationship create a new level of suspense for this must-read series of detail-saturated procedurals (introduced in She's Leaving Home, 2014).
