- Gold Dagger winner & creator of Lindsay Gordon, Kate Brannigan & Tony Hill "By any standards of decency, there were too many blondes in that gym. If one of them had died in less suspicious circumstances I would have put it down to Darwin's theory of natural selection.
Only the way this one happened to die was about as natural as the colour of her hair"
Sexy, sarcastic and stroppy as ever, Sam Jones is back - this time by request. When one of her colleagues at the gym turns into a corpse, Sam is asked to investigate. And with her extremely unorthodox methods she discovers that more than one of the staff has an unpleasant secret to hide.
Not too mention her own scandalous entanglement with a very unlikely source indeed... "It is difficult to remain immune to Sam Jones’ anarchic charm, she's a divine dropout who never dropped in, an alley cat with razor wit, the appetites of a scavenger and an extraordinary tolerance for booze" Mail on Sunday
"Sam, anarchic, reasonably amoral and frequently hungover, is irresistible... Her narrative pulses with life, wit and energy; alternative London fizzes off the page" Evening Standard
"Wonderfully politically incorrect, Henderson is the dominatrix of the British crime scene, capable of provoking laughter even as she inflicts pain on her characters" Time Out
