The Long Close Call — J. Wallis Martin

The Edgar shortlisted author of A Likeness in Stone and The Bird Yard has written another chillingly authentic, brilliantly plotted crime novel.

When Robbie McLaughlin, a Flying Squad officer with London's Metropolitan Police, shoots and kills a robber during a bank raid, his private and professional life begin to fall apart.

San Francisco Chronicle “[J Wallis Martin's] psychological thriller is a terrific example of the dark, intense character studies the British seem to produce with startling frequency.”
