Diamond Solitaire by Peter Lovesey

4.0

One of the Peter Diamond mysteries, but different in that Diamond resigned from his Detective Superintendant position with the Bath police force at the end of the previous book, and has been working as a night watchman at Harrods. A small Asian girl, apparently autistic, is found abandoned at the store, and this sends Diamond off on a whirlwhind trip from London to New York and beyond in the attempt to discover the link between this small girl, a fire and a car accident in Italy, and the release of a potentially life-changing new Alzheimer's drug in the U.S. Not quite as good as the regular police procedurals, but still a good read, with the imperturbable and enormous Diamond this time contrasted with an even more imperturable and enormous sumo wrestler who lends him aid in his search for the girl.
