Synopsis:

Late one evening Drake takes a call from John Smyth a colleague of his partner, Annie. He is troubled and sounds desperate.

One of the members of staff from the university department where Annie works is missing and they fear the worse.

A body discovered in a ditch points to murder and Inspector Drake embarks on the inquiry knowing that all the possible suspects work with Annie. When Smyth is found dead he has a race against time to discover the truth.


Review:

This is book 9 in the inspector Drake series, and releases in the UK next week. It's an interestign look at how Drake reacts when a case hits close to home, and hegets torn between doing his job, solving the case his way, and trying to protect Annie, while being open with her. It's a tough task, and Drake needs everyone on his team helping. With a new supervisor, he's not sure he can trust, he's on a instant deadline to not have the case taken from him, due to his involvement. As always, this is a character driven mystery, and as Drake and the reader find out more about Smyth and the second deceased, the tension races, and you'll be turning pages long into the night! Don't miss this book if you love the series! It can also be read as a stand alone.

For many years I worked as a lawyer in a small practice representing clients in the criminal courts and doing divorce work all of which has given me valuable raw material for my novels.I still live and work in North Wales where the Inspector Drake novels are set.
