Gehört zur ReiheCarl Houseman (6)
"This sixth case for Carl Houseman, deputy sheriff of rural Nation County, Iowa, blends the nitty-gritty of police work with fish-out-of-water wit and undercurrents of menace and international intrigue. Carl knows he'll make the best of it. His daughter, Jane, has been studying abroad in the UK, and her best friend Emma Schiller has been kidnapped. Desperate to protect his daughter, but more than a little hesitant to work half a world away from his jurisdiction, Carl, reluctantly accepts Scotland Yard's invitation to take him on as a consultant--but he'll have to rely on the Metropolitan Police every step of the way."--Publisher.

Anyway, Carl Houseman is conned by the Sheriff and other locals into traveling to England from Iowa to see what he might be able to find out about the disappearance of Emma Schiller. Thanks to interspersed chapters detailing what is happening to Emma, we know she has been kidnapped, although the precise reason is unclear. Except that after she has been taped with a message, she is to be killed.
I was disappointed to see that Harstad's editors did not do him justice. There are a couple total non-sequitors and errors any competent copy editor would have found. In one case they leave his daughters past midnight only to arrive back at the hotel by 10 pm.
I hope Harstad gets back to writing and returns us to northeastern Iowa. ( )
