About the Author:
Ann Granger has lived in cities all over the world, since for many years she worked for the Foreign Office and received postings to British embassies as far apart as Munich and Lusaka. She is now permanently based in Oxfordshire.
From AudioFile:
This mystery/suspense novel is one of Granger's entertaining Fran Varady series, about a part-time actress in today's multicultural London, who has a habit of wandering into murderous situations. This one centers on Fran's discovery that she has a younger half-sister, of whom she knows nothing. Fran and her best friend, an English-Indian young man named Ganesh, are soon investigating a murder that is somehow related to Fran's search for her sibling. Kim Hicks handles the varied voices beautifully; both major and minor characters are consistently distinct individuals. Scenes of chaos, panic, seemingly certain violence, and interludes of calm are all conveyed convincingly. Readers will be hooked.

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, top corners very slightly bruised, very slight lean, not price clipped (£17.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 314pp. When Fran Varady is approached by Private Detective Clarence Duke she mistrusts him on instinct. But she can't ignore what he has to say. Her mother, Eva, who walked out on Fran when she was only seven, has hired Clarence to find her daughter. And for good reason. Eva is dying. So Fran is reunited with the mother she hasn't seen for fifteen years, and is soon to lose again. But the biggest bombshell of all is still to come. Eva has another child, a daughter she gave up soon after her birth and she wants Fran to find her. It's not an easy task when her mother has sworn her to secrecy and the only clue Fran has is an out of date address. And matters aren't helped by the fact that slippery Clarence Duke seems intent on discovering what she's up to. But it's when he's found dead in his car outside Fran's home that the trouble really begins. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 009580
