Catnap by Gillian Slovo

Who knows that Kate Baeier is back in London? Who wants her gone so badly? What is everyone- even her former sleuthing partner- hiding from her? Still raw with grief over the death of Sam, her lover, Kate finds herself the target of inexplicable threats and then violence. Has her last abandoned case- its tendrils of corruption reaching from Hackney to Chelsea- come back to haunt her? Witty, dark and classy, this fast-moving thriller doesn't finish until the devastating truth is hounded down by the unstoppable Kate.
Slovo is at her brilliant best, graphically patrolling Kate through streets mean and up-market to a last muted hurray* THE SUNDAY TIMES *
Gritty and headstrong, with a nice line in self-depriciating wit and exposed emotions, Baeier is one of the most appealing feminist heroines around. * THE TIMES *
Brilliantly evokes a growing sense of menace. * NEW SOCIETY *
This fast-moving thriller keeps the actions going right until the final pages. * WALES ON SUNDAY *
Gillian Slovo was born in South Africa in 1952 and came to England in 1964. She lives in London with her partner and daughter and writes full time. She is the author of numerous novels, including three featuring Detective Kate Baeier.
