A sharp and atmospheric British crime novel, Head Case is the third installment in Liza Cody's acclaimed Anna Lee series, following the tenacious female private investigator as she takes on a deceptively routine missing persons case. Anna is hired to track down a teenage girl who has vanished, but what begins as a straightforward assignment quickly uncovers a web of family dysfunction, psychological manipulation, and unsettling secrets. Cody writes with a gritty, unsentimental tone that grounds the story firmly in the social realities of 1980s London, giving the narrative both authenticity and edge. Anna Lee herself is a compelling protagonist — resourceful and pragmatic, navigating a male-dominated profession with quiet determination rather than theatrical heroics. The result is a taut, intelligent thriller that illustrates why Cody's series stands as a landmark in the tradition of British crime fiction.
