About this ebook
On Leap Year Day in 1964, an attractive teenager called Carole Jeffries was strangled in a Liverpool park. The killing caused a sensation: Carole came from a prominent political family and her pop musician boyfriend was a leading exponent of the Mersey Sound. When a neighbour confessed to the crime, the case was closed. Now, more than thirty years later, Ernest Miller, an amateur criminologist, seeks to persuade lawyer Harry Devlin that the true culprit escaped scot free. Although he suspects Miller's motives, Harry has a thirst for justice and begins to delve into the past. But when another death occurs, it becomes clear that someone wants old secrets to remain buried - at any price...

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars. Fun read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoy the series of Harry Devlin as they always throw up interesting characters and witty dialogue and this is no exception. This ebook isn't a new story the original was published I think in the 90s but apart from the smoking in public places and the use of a pager, there are few clues that it isn't contemporary. Harry is asked to investigate a potential miscarriage of justice case which was originally handled by a firm which Harry's took over and quickly becomes fascinated by the story and convinced that the person convicted of murder wasn't guilty. However finding out who was after 30 years proves tricky.
