Orchestrated Death

Detective Inspector Bill Slider is never going to make it to the Yard. Passed over for promotion again, the last thing he needs is an unidentifiable, naked female corpse. A priceless Stradivarius and a giant tin of olive oil are the only clues in an investigation that takes the steely-eyed detective all the way from the backstreets of Shepherd's Bush to far-flung Birmingham.  Book 1 of series.
