"All around, for miles and miles in every direction, in streets and shops and houses, real life was going on, oblivious; but here a dead man sat, the full stop at the end of his own sentence, with a little still pocket of attention focused fiercely and minutely on him. Why him? And why here? Slider felt the questions attaching themselves to him like shackles, chaining him to this scene, to a well-known process of effort, worry and responsibility."
Detective Inspector Bill Slider returns in Gone Tomorrow, another thrilling mystery from the prolific pen of Cynthia Harrod-Eagles.
In the heart of Shepherd's Bush, London-Slider's patch-a groundskeeper discovers a well-dressed man seated on a children's swing. Problem is, the man is dead, a single, perfect stab-wound to the heart. Even more mysteriously, someone has clearly rummaged through the man's pockets-but left behind over a thousand pounds in cash.
Initial investigations confront a wall of silence, but this only fuels Slider and his team's determination to solve the case before it gets taken off their hands and they face failure on their own doorstep. The task is made no easier by Slider's qualms over his long-distance romance, or by Detective Superintendent Fred "The Syrup" Porson's mysterious absence from work for the first time in as long as Slider remembers.
As Slider unearths the victim's sordid lifestyle of debts, drugs, and dodgy deals, the trail leads the police through London's neighborhoods, from the seedy pubs of Shepherd's Bush through the brothels of Notting Hill to the mansions of Holland Park. As they probe deeper the body count rises and Slider suspects the machinations of a crime baron who will stop at nothing to keep his identity hidden.

Gone Tomorrow A Bill Slider Mystery Bill Slider Mysteries Book 9 edition by Cynthia HarrodEagles Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I'm generally a Bill Slider fan but the mystery in this book was rather weak. There was lots of clews but the conclusion pretty much had nothing to do with them. In fact if Slider and his crew had simply followed the most obvious path they would have got to the end much quicker. The eastern connection and the hints of exotic sexual practices and superior tailoring were nothing but distractions. Red herrings can add to the entertainment but this one had a whole shoal of them. Not to mention one death that was totally unexplained.
The original publication date was 2002 and the background does feel dated. For instance the Pub Closing Laws were changed in 2005 to allow all night drinking for those places applying for a license. I have no idea what the police now threaten publicans with when they want to lean on them.
As for Slider and Atherton's personal lives-- these were not I found particularly interesting. Joanna kept putting off having a conversation with Slider in a manner that suggested the author was trying to ratchet up the suspense. It fell a bit flat. I wished Atherton's Sue had bonked him on the head with the bottle of wine and bouquet.
There were several cameo portraits of characters from the London streets and pubs that were interesting. I particularly liked Atherton's tailor, "James Mason-- not the actor" who made a brief appearance with some useful information.
A WELL TO PERFCONSTRUCTED STORY THAT CONTINUES THE AUTHOR'S BILL SLIDER STORY LINE TO PERFECTION. I AM WAITING FOR THE LATEST STORY.
i enjoy this series. The books I've read are all well written. The information comes in like pieces of a puzzle and the reader sees it coming together as the detectives presumably do. I do skim over some of the parts about the detectives' personal lives, but if it wasn't there the book wouldn't be as interesting.
Fans of Slider and Atherton will happily settle into their favorite armchair with a cuppa and page thru another satisfying murder investigation in Shepherd's Bush.
I feel as though I am repeating myself as of course I am. I just love this author.
i love this series. the writing is poetic at times, the characters are people with whom i can identify, and the stories are interesting and satisfying.
This is my first bill slider mystery. Without having been prejudiced by other bill slider books, I enjoyed this one immensely. I agree that the ending is a bit rushed and can be improved upon. However, the dialogues are lively and witty; the characters are well-developed. (For a mystery, that is. After all, this is not supposed to be a "character piece.") What I found most amazing was how Ms. Harrod-Eagles can bring a character alive in a few paragraphs by a description of his mannerisms and his speech. I would definitely recommend this book for someone who has not read her other bill slider books.
