Newly installed superintendent of the Virginia State Police, Judy Hammer, and her right hand and confidant, Andy Brazil, are at their wits' end trying to protect the public from the politicians - and vice versa. And amid the mayhem an island off the coast of Virginia declares UDI - claiming its independence lies in the history of America's first settlers, those who set sail from London's Isle of Dogs in 1607.

Recensione:

Cornwell's humour is as unexpected as it is wicked. (DAILY MIRROR)

an irreverant and strikingly characterised portrait of law enforcement at the mercy of politics. (CRIME TIME)

A unique, often hilarious experience. (IRISH TATLER)

Be aware: this is not your typical Cornwell novel. Not only is there no Kay Scarpetta, but Isle of Dogs is a comic romp, a real departure for this author. It centres around a couple of characters from past books--police chief Judy Hammer and reporter-turn (Nicholas H Allison, Amazon.com)

Descrizione del libro:

Following the bestselling success of HORNET'S NEST and SOUTHERN CROSS, this is another irreverent portrait of politically driven law enforcement run amok.
