...last of Lady Helen, this new mystery--the author's 13th--is a refreshing departure. It takes a long bus ride into London's mixed-race slums to tell the backstory of the kids who killed Her Ladyship.

It was unusual for a boy of any age to be as helpful as I was. There is an intimacy between mother and son, a son of six or seven. At that age a boy can still be a boy, can be weak and melt into his mother's arms. For me, though, this is the last time, for tomorrow I will not be a boy. I will be something else - an animal...
