Mystery & Detective: The Isherwood Case Files & the European Quest to Find a Murderer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517340872)

Isherwood is the new boy in town, a well known British detective brought into the Los Angeles Police department's homicide squad to help get better results. Although Charley doesn't like the idea, he has no choice but to put up with it. Isherwood shows the squad what difference observation makes to how a potential crime scene is viewed, when asked to help by a member of the public who is worried for the safety of her sister.

Is she right? Is the girl's fiance a monster who has already killed his previous wives? The problem is that he is perceived as a high profile member of society and the Chief warns the detectives to tread carefully.

Will Isherwood tread on anyone's ego as he provides insight on this potential murder case? This is the first of the series of Isherwood Case Files in which our detective gets up close and personal with homicide, showing the squad the difference between the American approach and the more reserved British approach.

When the body of a child is found in Paris, Interpol involvement is resented by Inspector Le Fur, a proud French man who believes that the inquiry should be carried out on French soil. However, when Jobin explains to him the history behind the case.

Le Fur is more accepting of the way the inquiry progresses. With child trafficking becoming more and more common, Interpol are involved in the case. Victims being under the age of 9 years old, concern is mounting as the killer leaves his calling card.

Can Jobin put the pieces together to solve the crimes? How do you go about an investigation that covers such a large geographical area? This story follows the inquiry that leads to social networking sites where initial contact appears to have been made by the murderer.

Follow the story and see what goes on behind the doors of the Interpol office as detectives from many countries gather, with a mutual cause.
