The third novel in Keating's Harriet Martens series sees Harriet battle the press, the police, and prejudice as she fights corruption at the highest level. Harriet Martens, named the 'Hard Detective' by the media, has been secretly summoned to London to investigate corruption in the country's most prestigious crime-fighting team: the Maximum Crimes Squad. It's far from plain sailing for Harriet. Not only is she opposed at every turn by the head of the Squad, but she is menaced by mysterious figures from its current target, the worldwide Colombian network. Then, as she approaches the truth, she comes under attack from the press. The police chief who brought Harriet to London believes she can withstand the fire. But can she? A cerebral police procedural, A Detective Under Fire is the third novel in a series, but works perfectly as a stand-alone novel. It's ideal for all who enjoy sophisticated crime novels, such as those by Alexander McCall Smith, as well as the author's many fans. Henry Reymond Fitzwalter Keating (1926-2011) was an English author known primarily for his crime fiction, although he also wrote several non-crime novels and reference books, and spent many years as critic of crime fiction for The Times .
