John Mountjoy has escaped from prison and taken a hostage, and the only person he'll talk to is Detective Peter Diamond, who arrested him four years earlier for the murder of a young journalist. Diamond must follow a cold trail to find another killer and clear Mountjoy's name before someone else dies.
Although "The Summons" was first published in 1995, British author Peter Lovesey writes entertaining puzzlers in the tradition of the Golden Age of mystery writing. "The Summons" won the 1995 Silver Dagger Award from the Crime Writers' Association of the United Kingdom. Sometimes, this novel is difficult to understand due to the differences between British English and American English and the use of British expressions. I would rate "The Summons" at 4.0 stars.
