'This often comic tale sharpens the appetite for more.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
*
Freshly-promoted cop Joe Rafferty has one ambition; To prove to his new boss that he has the ability to lead an investigation.
*
But, right from the start, things go wrong. To say the case of ‘The Faceless Lady’ is a challenge is putting it mildly. Not only is Rafferty's main suspect for the murder a man who brings out his prejudices to the full. He can’t even rely on his family for support—as usual, they bring their own challenges for a hard-pressed detective. And he discovers the adage that trouble comes in threes is all too true. Even his new partner is a high-moral-ground kind of guy; not the best match for Rafferty. Or his ne’er-do-well family.
*
With his boss and the media scrutinising his every move, Rafferty is under pressure. He’s in danger of the wheels coming off of his inquiry, falling flat on his face, and proving his boss right about his competence. He desperately needs a break in the case.
*
So when his cousin seems to hold the key to the investigation, Rafferty clutches at it. But can he really believe the cousin who’s proved himself an idiot in the past? If he’s wrong, he not only lets a murderer escape justice, but he will get a black mark against his career that will follow him forever.
