Beschreibung
The chief of the Bath murder squad finally gets his say in this revealing mini-autobiography of the star character in the "e;superb series"e; (Louise Penny, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Gamache novels).Reader, you're about to get the truth, the inside story, the stuff Peter Lovesey never discovered. . . .Longtime police detective Peter Diamond has kept his mouth shut ever since learning that some author had the nerve to use his stellar career as a model for a supposedly fictional mystery series. At first, he consulted a solicitor, but it was explained to him that the case would be expensive. So now he's going to tell his own story, from his days as a dyslexic schoolboy to his start as a humble copper with the Met in the 1980s, and the many difficult cases he brilliantly cracked in Bath. It's past time to hear from the real detective behind the "e;impatient, belligerent, cunning, insightful, foul, laugh-out-loud funny"e; character, as Louise Penny put it-and who gave Peter Lovesey his Diamond Dagger Award and Mystery Writers of America Grand Master status. "e;Lovesey is a wizard at mixing character-driven comedy with realistic-to-grim suspense."e; -The Wall Street Journal"e;The enduring draw of the Peter Diamond books derives both from the beguiling Bath cityscape and the brusque character of Diamond himself."e; -NPR"e;What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those agonizing decisions, because his books have it all."e; -The New York Times Book Review
