Evie Bowes is very conscious of the scars on her face. They were acquired when she was rescued from a car in the River Ouse by Inspector Halloran. She’d been suspected of the murder of her boyfriend, Owen, and in the process of clearing her name she and her best friend, Kitt Hartley , developed a taste for detection. Kitt developed a taste for Inspector Halloran Tootoo, but they’re taking it slowly. Well, sort of slowly.
It’s when Malc Halloran calls to see Kitt one evening when Evie is at the cottage that he tells them that DS Charlotte Banks (Charley to her friends) has been suspended from duty, accused of attacking Alim Buruk, a burglary suspect. Evie decides that her next case is going to be clearing Charley’s name: no one but Supt Ricci believes that she was capable of attacking Buruk. Buruk is supposed to have stolen some valuable first editions from Bootham Books. Evie visits Buruk in hospital to get more information - and manages to make an enemy of Supt Ricci in the process.
