The Weapon and the Fruit (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A man drowns in plain sight. His cries pierce the summer heat.

Before help can arrive, he vanishes beneath the Thames.

Private detective Lance Pomegranate stands witness - barefoot, drunk, bearing a re-opened

decade-old wound and plunged into a puzzle that defies easy answers. The onlookers? An

eclectic crew of non-conformists aboard the houseboat Oh Dearie Me, each stranger than the

last, disturbingly calm in the face of death.

None of the suspects left each other's sight and the only clue found is an electronic device not

meant to go underwater. As Lance unravels alibis, cryptic ledgers, and echoes from a long-buried

past, the river yields more questions than solutions.

With the police alongside him and accidental ally Ciara Gallen causing chaos behind him, Lance

must navigate a sunlit stretch of southwest London where eccentrics, secrets, and hidden

agendas collide, as one tragedy follows another.

Though familiar friendships and L.E. Bendon's signature wit remain ever present, The Weapon

and the Fruit series takes a darker turn in this third installment. While Four and Twenty

Blackboards saw Lance justify his own brand of professionalism, and in Any Body Can Murder

he learnt to overcome shame, Hipsters of Teddington Lock both raises and answers the

question: Who hurt you?
