A share in death - deborah crombie

The first appearance of Scotland Yards Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James--nominated for an Agatha and Macavity Award for Best First Novel--is reissued.

A weeks holiday in a luxurious Yorkshire time-share is just whatScotland Yards Superintendent Duncan Kincaid needs.

But the discovery of a body floating in the whirlpool bath ends Kincaids vacation before its begun.

One of his new acquaintances at Followdale House is dead; another is a killer.

Despite a distinct lack of cooperation from the local constabulary, Kincaids keen sense of duty wont allow him to ignore the heinous crime, impelling him to send for his enthusiastic young assistant, Sergeant Gemma James.

But the stakes are raised dramatically when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and James find themselves in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon who enjoys homicide a bit too much.
