The chief of the Bath murder squad finally gets his say in this revealing mini-autobiography of the star character in the "superb series" (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 "impatient, belligerent, cunning, insightful, foul, laugh-out-loud funny" character, as Louise Penny put it—and who gave Peter Lovesey his Diamond Dagger Award and Mystery Writers of America Grand Master status.
"Lovesey is a wizard at mixing character-driven comedy with realistic-to-grim suspense." —The Wall Street Journal
"The enduring draw of the Peter Diamond books derives both from the beguiling Bath cityscape and the brusque character of Diamond himself." —NPR
"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." —The New York Times Book Review
