The third Harry Devlin mystery set among the streets and people of Liverpool. Solicitor Devlin thinks of Jack-the-Lad Finbar Rogan as more than just a client - he's also a friend. But someone isn't so tolerant of Rogan's little foibles. Someone hates him enough to want him dead.

Review:
"Martin Edwards writes terrific crime novels about Harry Devlin, a charming but down-at-heel Liverpool solicitor with bruised emotions, a nice line in self-deprecation and a penchant for Mersey low-life' Marcel Berlins, Guardian 2 'The chameleon city of Liverpool has provided a dramatic background for Edwards' Harry Devlin novels, revealing itself in all its seediness and splendour' Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News 3 'The novels successfully combine the style of the traditional English detective story with a darker noir sensibility Crime Time"
