Many mystery authors have launched their careers with notable first novels, and Martin Edwards is no exception. His first book introduced his series character, lawyer Harry Devlin and the city and characters he lives with every day in Liverpool, England. Appearing for the first time in the U.S., All the Lonely People introduces Harry Devlin stumbling on a murder case that strikes a bit too close to home. Life has hardly turned out how Harry Devlin had imagined it. Separated from his spouse, whom he still cares about and hasn't seen in two years, living in a cramped one-bedroom apartment, defending the lower levels of society every day. Still, it's a life, of a sort, and the last thing he needs is any kind of trouble. Which is exactly what he finds on the eve of his 32nd birthday. Liz, his estranged wife, is waiting for him in his apartment. She is running from something, from someone, and has come to Harry for a little support, which she knows he'll provide. When she fails to show up for lunch the next day, he writes the whole encounter off as Liz just being Liz. But when her body turns up in an alley, his whole world is turned upside down. Under suspicion by the police, and with only the name of the man who had broken up only the name of the man who had broken up his marriage as a lead, Harry takes it upon himself to investigate who would have wanted Liz dead, and why. His queries will take him beyond his relatively safe world into sordid city streets that contain more than one danger, and change the illusions that he has clung to regarding his life and his wife-forever.
