Odd Man Out: William Dougal Crime Series Book 8
Andrew Taylor
Formats & Editions
William Dougal, the amoral but appealing private detective, is on the road to respectability: he is a responsible father and holds down a job. This happy state of affairs suffers a rude setback, though, when he kills a man during a squabble. The killing may have been unpremeditated, but Dougal has no intention of going to the police; instead he is left with the task of disposing of a large, unwieldy body, currently lying on the floor of his girlfriend's house.
Then, out of the night, his old rival and current employer Hanbury arrives, a man uniquely qualified to assist with this sort of problem. Indeed, Hanbury is delighted to help a friend in need, but as always there is a price. A price, as Dougal is to discover, higher - and more dangerous than expected.
