When Detective Sergeant Washington Poe is summoned to a backstreet brothel in Carlisle where a man has been beaten to death with a baseball bat, he is confused - this appears to be a straightforward murder-by-pimp case, but something doesn't add up.

As Poe and the socially awkward programmer Tilly Bradshaw delve deeper into the case, they uncover seemingly unanswerable questions: why does nothing in the victim's background check out? Why was a small ornament left at the murder scene - and why did someone on the investigation team steal it? And what is the connection to a flawlessly executed bank heist three years earlier? This is a must-read for fans of crime fiction, with its intricate plot twists and unpredictable turns.
