What this book is about
A woman is found murdered in Notting Hill, London — the start of an investigation that finds a second death and the suggestion of a pattern that connects to the specific history of Notting Hill: its regeneration, its old markets, the community that was displaced. Superintendent Kincaid and Sergeant James investigate in a part of London undergoing rapid change, and the crimes are rooted in the economic transformation of the neighborhood. Deborah Crombie's eighth Kincaid/James novel is the most directly about gentrification and the specific violence that displacement can motivate.
