  • "Abends im Pub wird Inspektor Jury von einem redseligen Fremden angesprochen, der ihm von seinem Freund erzählt, dessen Frau, Kind und Hund vor einem Jahr auf mysteriöse Weise verschwunden sind. Der Fall zieht den Inspektor sofort in seinen Bann. Warum taucht der Hund ausgerechnet vor der Tür des Fremden wieder auf und warum weist sich dieser selber in eine Nervenklinik ein?"

  • "Over three successive nights, stranger Harry Johnson sits in the London Pub "The Old Wine Shades" and tells a story to Richard Jury about a good friend of his whose wife and son (and dog) disappeared one day in Surrey. They've been missing for nine months - no trace, no clue, no lead as to what happened. The dog came back - but how? When Jury investigates, all seems to be just as Harry described it.

  • "At the start of bestseller Grimes's compelling 20th Richard Jury mystery, the Scotland Yard detective is on suspension because he decided to save lives rather than wait for a warrant in his previous outing, The Winds of Change (2004). With time on his hands, Jury is ensnared by the intriguing tale spun by Harry Johnson, a man who, apparently, just happens upon him in a London pub, the Old Wine Shades. Despite himself, Jury is drawn in by Johnson's account of the baffling disappearance of a mother, her autistic son and their do and the more baffling reappearance of the pet nine months later. The detective diligently follows every lead to determine the fate of the missing people, even as Johnson's digressions into the paradoxes of quantum physics lead Jury to question the truth of the man's narrative. The scheme Jury ultimately detects is ingeniously clever and sufficiently consistent with the personalities Grimes has created to overcome disbelief. The author's gift at melding suspense, logical twists and wry humor makes this one of the stronger entries in this deservedly popular series."
