Good afternoon my name is Camilo

I am looking for a yellow hardcover book, the cover is a burning house, it is from a true wratson author or something like that, I just don't remember very well, in the last parts there is a kind of black and yellow spirals, on the back The book is also a police book, it is about a detective who gets up at 7 AM to have a coffee, lights a cigarette and I do not remember the story anymore is that many years ago I have wanted to read it, I have seen it, but not I remember the name, on one page there is a news story of a murder where the detective is shaking up the crime where a person is beaten to death and burned, but that appears in a small box and that is the most relevant of the book that I remember, if I they could help you find it would be great.

Thanks a lot.

Camilo, I moved your request to the "Unsolved" folder because you're looking for one specific book.

That's a good start, but we need much more information in the header/topic title at the top of the page. Many members only read the headers. We have thousands of book requests, so threads with vague headers are closed.

Copy the genre (e.g., adult thriller, mystery) and plot details from your message #1 to the header by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

What does "true wratson author" mean?

Is this a murder mystery novel for adults?

Around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

Location/country?

"a true wratson author" - what does that mean?

In what language did you read the book? Often different countries/languages means different covers and cover art which can help locate a book cover.
