Annotation:
In NO TRACE:A BROCK AND KALLA MYSTERY, Scotland Yarders DCI David Brock and Detective Sergeant. Kathy Kolla investigating the strange abduction of a six-year-old girl. The missing child happens to be the daughter of the controversial and cantankerous artist Gabe Rudd, who lives in an eccentric and tight-knit artist's community. Further muddling matters is the fact that Rudd famously used his wife's suicide as inspiration for an art piece, and now, with his daughter missing, he is brainstorming ideas for a work based on her abduction. Maitland makes good use of the artist's community setting, quickly turning it into a gruesome affair by murdering the residents off in grisly ways that mimic their own artwork. While readers might have to work to follow the story's many labyrinthine details, Maitland's vivid prose creates a captivating and original tale of suspense.
