Scotland Yard’s detective duo takes on a puzzling case in the posh world of international architecture: “[An] ever-enjoyable series” (Booklist).

Charles Verge, a powerful, cutting-edge architect, has disappeared into the blue, leaving behind his firm; his beloved—and pregnant—daughter; and his young and very dead wife. The case is stalled and, after months of fruitless searching leaves the authorities desperate to save face, Detective Chief Inspector Brock and Detective Sergeant Kolla are called in.

All of London is abuzz with questions about the high-profile case, which will send Kolla and Brock to some less-than-scenic locales in Barcelona, and back to their own stomping ground—where suspicion of internal corruption comes closer to home than they would like. As the investigation uncovers a dizzying web of possible suspects—including an ex-con gardener, a sinister doctor, and the missing Verge himself—it will reveal more than one crack in the shiny windows of the Verge practice’s sleek façade.

“Maitland burrows so deeply into the lives of Charles Verge, his associates, and the investigators that you’d think he was channeling P.D. James.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Wow. This guy is good.” —Houston Chronicle
