Parker, chief crime reporter (and secret owner) of the \u003ci\u003eHampstead Explorer\u003c\/i\u003e. Not only is the murder apparently motiveless, but it also emerges that in his will Finnegan has left Parker - already a multi-millionaire - a curious house in Golders Green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParker, slightly distracted by the gorgeous Samantha McDuff (a karate expert with an excruciating handshake), begins a dangerous investigation which leads him back to the horrifying abduction and murder of a little girl in 1970s London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParker's investigative methods are amusingly eccentric, and the story is enlivened by a Jewish policeman-cum-Talmudic scholar and Parker's chauffeur, a cheeky Cockney ex-cabby. But there is no humour in the story's climax, which plumbs the dark depths of fury and retribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOriginally published under the author name Lew Matthews.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077397856496,"sku":"9780751554588","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780751554588_p0.jpg?v=1763638322","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780751554588","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
