In The Verge Practice, Kathy Kolla and David Brock, Scotland Yard's superlative detective duo, take on a puzzling case in the posh world of big-name international architecture, and it has them chasing red herrings and hopping fences from London to Barcelona. Charles Verge, a powerful, cutting-edge architect, has disappeared into the blue, leaving behind his firm; his beloved--and pregnant--daughter; and his young and very dead wife. The case is stalled, and, after months of fruitless searching leaves the authorities desperate to save face, Detective Chief Inspector Brock and Detective Sergeant Kolla are called in. All of London is abuzz with questions about the high-profile case, which will send Kolla and Brock to some less-than-scenic locales in Barcelona, and back to their own stomping ground--where suspicion of internal corruption comes much closer to home than they would like. As the investigation uncovers a dizzying web of possible suspects--including an ex-con gardener, a sinister doctor, and the missing Verge himself--it will reveal more than one crack in the shiny windows of the Verge practice's sleek façade.… (plus d'informations)

Well, this one was great until the last quarter, when things went completely berserk. Kathy chairing a working group was entertaining. I am now completely over the Kathy/Leon romance. ( )

Another solid Brock and Kolla mystery- you won't see the end of this one coming! A little bit less plausible than some of the other books in the series (although it could still happen), this book looks at the disappearance of Charles Verge, prominent architect and the murder of his wife. There's also a bit of personal stuff with Kathy, but it doesn't overload the storyline. Every word Mr Maitland writes is well thought out.
A great crime series that is often sadly overlooked. ( )
