X marks the spot - and when that spot is a corpse's naked back and the x is carved in blood, DI Tom Thorne is in no doubt that the dead man is the latest victim of a particularly vicious contract killer. It's morbid and mess -- but it's a mystery with plenty of clues. This is a turf warfare between North London gangs. Organ

There's Lowell &amp; Vincent, Boston lawyer and Dutch art dealer- handsome, good looking, eligible to a degree; Cora and Fontaine, Charleston dowager and Southern Belle, mother determined to make a match for her child; Merrily Morgenstern, acerbic but lovable New York banker, sick of being single - and shy English orphan Jessica, arts organiser extraordinaire.
