“The man came round the end of the bed towards her, and she launched herself at him. Six feet of outraged black female. One hundred and twenty-six pounds of bone and muscle. She sprang suddenly out of the darkness, one long leg smacking hard against him. He fell heavily to the ground.
´Jesus H. Christ!´ he said.
Penny sucked in a long, long breath to dilute the adrenalin which had her still on the balls of her feet, arms up and out in front of her, ready to grab and hurt.
´Barnaby?´ she said.”
This crime novel is the first in what I think is a largely forgotten series. Or am I wrong? Is Penny on your shelf – written by a British author of many names who has a certain connection with Denmark?

I've read/listened to one of her bridge series books which was good. I've not got round to this series which was quite ground breaking, I believe, at the time.
Never heard of Penny ;o)
Karen, I think the series is somewhat uneven, but I enjoyed this one.
Louise, you are probably too young ;)
Ah ... yes, I think I know this from the TV. Didn't Anthony Horowitz do the original adaptations?
Tim (Edinburgh?); that is certainly a good question - as we say when we haven´t got a clue ;)
I am going to post my review in a few minutes, and then I hope you can tell me.
