Beschreibung

Last Orders is an exciting and thrilling anthology of short crime fiction, featuring the return of Edinburgh investigator Gus Dury. In the title story Dury receives a mysterious letter on expensive paper but is hesitant to take the case - but he needs the cash, though there's something about his well-heeled client that doesn't sit quite right.
Meanwhile a low-life drug-dealer has a sudden change of heart as he takes revenge on his cheating partner in 'London Calling'.
A victim of high school date rape settles the score, the crew of a bank job suspect that one of their number tipped off the police and so take their grisly retribution and a performance-enhanced bodybuilder loses control with bloody consequences in just some of the stories featured in this original collection by Irvine Welsh's 'favourite British crime writer', Tony Black.
Verfügbar seit: 01.03.2024.

    The murder of a political bigwig at a Honey Bee Tea sends Theodosia Browning buzzing for answers in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. 
     
    Theodosia’s Honey Bee Tea was an elegant affair set in Charleston’s new Petigru Park amid newly planted native grasses and a community beekeeping project. But when a phony beekeeper shows up and sprays toxic smoke at the guests, the party erupts in chaos. Worse yet, a shot  
    rings out and Osgood Claxton III, candidate for state legislature, falls to the ground—dead. 
     
    Holly Burns, the gallery owner who asked Theodosia to cater the tea, is understandably heartbroken. A man is dead, her guests are angry and injured, and the paintings that were on display are left in tatters. When the police don’t seem to have a clue, when old-line politicos don’t want  
    questions asked, Holly begs Theodosia to run a shadow investigation and help restore her gallery’s good name. 
     
    Between hosting a Wind in the Willows Tea and a Glam Girl Tea, Theodosia questions everyone that had a bone to pick with Claxton. This includes Booker, an angry outsider artist; Lamar Lucket, Claxton’s political opponent; and Mignon Merriweather, the dead man’s soon-to-be ex-wife. But  
    the investigation becomes a political hot potato following a second murder, the revelation of a messy affair, a chase through a swamp, and a vandalized shop.
