Originally published in 2009, it is the fourth and final book in his Oxford Investigations (or Zoë Boehm) series.

The story follows Sarah Tucker as she travels to Newcastle to identify a body pulled from the River Tyne—a woman who appears to be her friend, private investigator Zoë Boehm.

As usual with Mick Herron books, the writing is excellent.

The story telling far too slow and confusing for this reader.

Watch the TV show instead ➙ Down Cemetery Road staring Emma Thompson as Zoë Boehm.
