Reseña del editor
"I gave up sleep so that I could read to the surprising and satisfying ending. I laughed out loud in public in response to the quirky plot twists. An Unsafe Pair of Hands by Chris Dolley is a masterful addition to the British mystery genre." -- Barth SiemensPeter Shand is a high-flying police administrator seconded to a quiet rural CID team to gain the operational experience he needs for promotion. On his second day he's thrust into a high-profile murder case. A woman's body is discovered in an old stone circle ... with another woman buried alive beneath her.The pressure on Shand is enormous. The media is clamoring for answers, but every lead he chases down makes the case even more baffling. Then a local journalist singles out Shand as the reason for the lack of progress, and goads him at a press conference. Shand responds by inventing a lead, and keeps on lying - to the press and his boss - telling himself he'll solve the case before anyone finds out.And then another murder occurs. And had there been a third? Shand begins to doubt his ability. He's desperate, increasingly unpredictable, and somehow gaining a reputation for arresting livestock. Which will break first? The case, or Shand? Chris Dolley is a New York Times bestselling author.REVIEWS"This is one of those crime stories that grips one from the opening paragraph, and doesn't let go until the last. I had theories all the way through the book and was confident, going into the denouement, that I had cracked the case just ahead of our detective - WRONG! I was not even close but, when our hero explained his reasoning, yes, it was all there for me." - Ken Petersen"This mystery is so much fun. The humor is delightful and the plot is complex enough to keep you turning pages to the end. And the characters are marvelous, from the snobby London "incomers" the Marchants to The Moleman and even a cock-a-doodle-dooing chicken, all of whom are suspect at one time or other. This is by far one of the best summer reads..." -- Jensview"This is a very good read. You will want to be sure to have a day off or a quiet weekend ahead of you, because this book is very hard to put down once you get started reading it." -- Kathleen Kempa
Biografía del autor
Chris Dolley was born in Bournemouth, England on September 30th, 1954. Several attempts to educate him were made by staff at Winton and Moordown, Bournemouth School and, finally, Plymouth Polytechnic. But he was too fast, graduating at the age of 20 with an honours degree in Geography. In 1974 he formed the Free Cornish Army, who declared Cornwall an independent nation. The humor "Punch" called the affair a asplendid hoax.a After 13 years as a computer programmer for the Home Office, he founded Randomberry Games in 1981, probably the first UK computer game company. In 1995, Chris moved to France, and he and his wife now live on a farm he has renovated in the Normandy-Maine Regional Park. In between the plumbing and roofing at his new home, he appeared in the films "Joan of Arc" and "Sade", though his role in the former ended up on the cutting room floor (he hopefully awaits the Director's Cut). His mystery novel "An Unsafe Pair of Hands" was short listed for the Sara Ann Freed Memorial Award for best first mystery. His first novel for Baen was "Resonance."
