In this sequel to All Shook Up (2005), which introduced Eddie Dancer, the Canadian private eye wings his way to England, where a psychologist (and friend) stands accused of multiple murders. Eddie's investigation soon zeroes in on a two-century-old manuscript, written in Old Italian by an Austrian physician. The manuscript convinces Eddie that, bizarre as it might sound, he could be dealing with a reincarnated serial killer. Eddie is a tough-talking, straight-shooting, dry-witted kind of guy, but Harrison somehow manages to make him different from all the other tough-talking, straight-shooting, dry-witted PIs out there. The supporting cast, from Dr. Peter Maurice (who turns out to be not quite the wronged man he claims to be) to various British characters, is uniformly excellent. Deftly combining suspense and Eddie's natural wit, the novel is sure to appeal to fans of the private-eye genre.
