Сюжет разворачивается вокруг Джейн, владельца книжного магазина и увлекательного детектива. Недавно случайно заметившая маленький кусочек фотографии своего покойного деда на странной картине в доме своей подруги она занимается расследованием жизни своего давно умершего дедушки-криминалиста. В процессе этого она замечает, что вокруг происходит что то темное и странное.
Книга "An Old, Cold Grave" is the third of a three-novel series featuring incompetent but likable private detective Lane Winslow by Iona Whishaw (pseudonym of Gillian Cross).
Lane Winslow went to Adelaide more or less by accident, straight from his office job as an analyst in Scotland Yard to stop up a kennel in a property development, only to be involved in the murder of one of the owners. Taking the place of his own daughter, Eve, who has drifted out west on a whim, Winslow decides to pursue his interest in the case after his friend devises an alluring cover story for his daughter's disappearance. Despite this cover story, “grey area morality” sits lightly beside and below the unrepentant avarice underpinning Winslow's changes of heart.
As he follows a set of side trails and potentially motivating forces with surprisingly charming incompetence, Life and Death trap Lane into unreasonable quandaries both professional and personal. With a degree of imbalance between his seemingly variable altruism, amorous desires, and honesty, Lane finds himself agonising over justice, love, morals, and social obligations with a singular stubbornness befitting a character based more upon Errol Flynn than on Ian Stonebridge.
Weaving seamlessly between South Australia and London, Iona lifts The An Old Cold Grave into the realm of sleuth narrative along the way.
