DCI Monika Poniatowski has been handed her second murder case and a new
DS who haas just returned from sick leave. DS Cousins had been
declared mentally unfit for work following the death of his wife.
Monika was unsure whether he was one of the old boys club who didn't
want a female DCI. He allays her fears when he uses his contacts to
find out that the victim was a Para involved in "Bloody Sunday".
A
real monkey wrench is thrown at her team when a man from 'the' ministry
tells her to keep him abreast of the investigation. A second similar
murder makes the investigating team wonder if there are any
connections. Poniatowski sets one of her team to spying on the spy, but
here hands are seemingly tied when her boss is forced to follow the
orders of the ministry.
Could the IRA be involved? After all, it is the time of The Troubles in Ireland. When Monika
and her team investigate that lead they find themselves in a quandary.
Later two more men are murdered, and their bodies left on the local
football pitch. What does it all mean?
Author Sally Spencer gives the reader a shocking, unexpected and totally surprising conclusion to this excellent murder mystery.
