Having no luck in finding the killer of ex-con
Daryl Woodley, both Detective Superintendent Uckfield and Detective Inspector
Andy Horton attend Woodley’s funeral in the hope of picking up a lead to
further the investigation. But their attendance at the funeral leads them in an unexpected direction.
Then a body
found on an old boat in Tipner Boatyard further complicates an already
perplexing mystery. To add to Andy’s confusion
Chief Superintendent Sawyer thinks the case is connected to a European criminal
gang and assigns Agent Eames from Europol to assist him. Agent Eames is cool, blonde and gorgeous.
There are
many twists as the investigation progresses. It seems that everyone that they
put in the frame for the murders they find is already serving time. Probing deeper into the lives of those
connected with the victims the team uncover secrets in the past that lead them
to another unsolved murder.
As the
story progressed it was clear that there is an unsolved mystery in Andy
Horton’s past and one that until recently he has not attempted to solve but one
he has now started to wonder about, and contact with a dying man has set him to
do some private investigating. But maybe
danger lurks in seeking out the truth of his past.
This is a
fast paced excellent mystery, with an interesting diverse set of characters,
and an intriguing hook at the end that has me eagerly awaiting the next
instalment in this series.Highly recommended.
