Publisher's Synopsis
This is Peter Lovesey's Short List of his best ever stories, including the Crime Writers' Association's best short story of 2007, 'Needle Match', and featuring some of his most popular detectives: Bertie, Prince of Wales, Sergeant Cribb and Rosemary and Thyme. Surprises are guaranteed, as elephants appear in a London side street; a gang of geriatrics goes on a hearing aid heist and an underworld boss searches for a harp. Join the author in a brush with Adolf Hitler and take a walk on Beachy Head, the UK's favourite suicide spot.
