Blood Never Dies

By Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

Book Overview

Bill Slider and his team face a mystery, when an unidentifiable man appears to have committed suicide but all signs point to murder

A boiling-hot August day, and a handsome young man is found dead in his bath, exsanguinated. Suicide is not, strictly speaking, a detective inspector's business, but Bill Slider's colleague takes one look at the body and calls in his boss. 'It don't look right to me, guv, ' is Detective Sergeant Hollis's opinion. 'But I can't quite put my finger on it.'
As Bill Slider investigates, he reluctantly has to agree: the man's poky flat is too tidy, for one thing, and smelling of fresh emulsion rather than, say, feet. That's not to mention the method of death: a single slash to the left jugular, when evidence soon proves him to be left-handed. But as Slider and his team try to identify the man - whose personal papers are missing, along with his wallet and keys - it seems that the more they find out about him, the less they really know . .
