Synopsis:
Synopsis:
A killer is at work in the supposedly-safe commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers, fast...
Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is quickly on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit: two bullets, fired with ice-cold calm.
Gillard knows that the most crucial question in solving the crime is one word: Why? Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. In this case there is no identity for the young man, just a curious brand burned into his neck….
As the mystery deepens Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark forces, people who believe in only two things: blood and a warped code of honour. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - and his own.
Written at breakneck pace with a jaw-dropping twist you won’t see coming, the suspense-filled second DCI Gillard crime thriller is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Faith Martin.
Review:
This follow up to The Body on the Marsh, puts DCI Gillard in unfamiliar territory, as what appears to be a simple case ends up being connected to not one homicide, but a kidnapping, and all of it involved in something foreign to the police-an Albanian blood feud. As more evidence amounts linking the cases, the crazier the evidence sounds, Gillard and his team have to use their wits on foreign territory, to try to figure out the intricate web of deceit and lies, to come at the truth. But have they in the end? Readers of British police procedurals will love the last few chapters of this book and the surprise ending! I'm hooked on this new series, and you will be too!
