The Last Detective/Diamond Solitaire by Peter Lovesey

THE LAST DETECTIVE Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond is the last detective - computers and spreadsheets and technology are not for him. So when the naked body of an unidentified woman is found in a lake near Bath his sleuthing abilities are tested to the limit. While the 'men in white coats' huddle in their laboratories, Diamond is on the streets, following the real clues hidden amongst Bath's historic buildings and intertwined with its literary past, and exposes a very uncomfortable truth ...DIAMOND SOLITAIRE A Japanese child is found in Harrods where Diamond is working as a security guard. Her identity is a mystery, but after a television appeal is broadcast she is kidnapped. By interpreting the pictorial clues the autistic child left behind, Diamond tracks her to New York, where a murder is discovered, then to Tokyo where Japan's most famous sumo wrestler helps bring the quest to a sensational climax.

A consummate storyteller Colin Dexter Admirably unpredictable (Lovesey keeps you guessing until the very end) and entertaining all the way LITERARY REVIEW Peter Diamond may be my favourite fictional police detective - perky, dogged and very clever SCOTSMAN More twists and turns than the Snake Pass, a joy to the last pageYORKSHIRE POST
