Blurb from the book

Detective Inspector Franz Heineken, aka Pufferfish, is a cop who loves to be loathed.

Roaming the backwaters of his bedevilled island home, Pufferfish is led to investigate a mysterious and clueless attack on a second-hand dealer. But while Ira Cone's injuries are not serious, her volunteer work for a soup kitchen attracts the attention of the good detective's ever-probing eye.

Taking up a frustrating night-vigil, Pufferfish is surprised to encounter a peculiar sleeping tramp: young, Jesus-faced, indescribably stinking and wearing $20,000 worth of sable coat. Not to mention the diamond accessories and precious rings. And who is Kingo, who cannot - or will not - speak, and has a large swastika tattooed between his shoulder blades?

Pufferfish closes in on Ira's attacker and the muted, mad feral Kingo. But nothing comes cheap in this business.

Blurb from the book

The phone call comes on a Sunday, the day before homicide detective Kathy Kolla is to start her new job at New Scotland Yard, Serious Crimes Branch. But the grotesque murder that it heralds in a peaceful London suburb takes no account of the day of rest and promises a dramatic start to Kathy's new life. In fact, dramatic is the word when her only - improbable - lead draws her to an amateur drama group.

As Kathy investigates further she is lured into a piece of theatre over which, increasingly, she has little control. And as the show unfolds, a plot of brilliant complexity is revealed, escalating with gathering suspense to a climax in which Kathy's own painfully hidden past plays a shocking role.
