Peter Diamond is a policeman whose abrasive manner is not appreciated by his superiors but when a skeletal hand turns up in the vault of the Pump Room in Bath, followed by the excavation of a skull, Diamond is called upon to solve a series of crimes, including murder and forgery, requiring a knowledge of history, nineteenth century art, literature...and contemporary human nature.

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

William Faulkner

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

“When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”
