Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Protected in a removable archival cover. Full number line. 288 pages. A Brock and Kolla Mystery, No. 6. Following her ordeal in the stakeout at the Silvermeadow supermall, Detective Sergeant Kathy Kolla is on leave, so burned out that she is tempted to quit the force for good. But nothing can keep her from the hunt in this puzzling new case. Professor Max Springer, a distinguished if controversial academic, has been brutally murdered on the steps of a London university. Springer was known for his stand against Islamic extremism, but was that motive enough to kill him? While Kathy and Brock start looking for answers in London's Arab community, rivalries within the university point in another direction. Springer's colleague, a professor of medical genetics, become involved. Is he as troubling a figure as he seems? Meanwhile, why would somebody leak information about this sensitive investigation to the media, risking an explosion in the streets?
