Fresh Flesh

Description: Everything was going just fine for Saz Martin and her partner Molly. It is summer in London, they're having a baby and all looks right with the world. Saz has even stopped taking on any weird and wild cases. No more danger, just easy, steady work and tucked up in bed before midnight... Yeah, right. Fresh Flesh, Stella Duffy's latest Saz Martin thriller, is a fast-paced ride across a contemporary London of glitzy offices, fancy restaurants, designer bars and damaged lives. It is also a frightening journey through the emotional ruins of the past, a tale of the sins of the fathers, and the mothers, and of the greatest theft of all.

Review: ''The clever money should be on Duffy when the crime-writing Oscars are dished out? Daily Telegraph ?Cracking dialogue and exuberant characters? The Times ?Clever, cunning and careful to avoid the obvious. A real treat? Val McDermid
