Danny McRae has returned home from the war with a steel plate in his
head. He doesn't want to return home to Scotland, so he has set up shop
as a private investigator in London. Kate Graveney has come to him fearing that she has killed a
man. When she names the man, it turns out that McRae knew him through
the SOE. Prior to the war McRae had been a police detective, and now he was
being asked to use his skills again.
McRae can't let go of his
policing instincts, so he starts to inquire about the recent spate of
murdered prostitutes. The local police inspector doesn't appreciate
McRae's interest.
McRae finds out that the man in question is
indeed dead. He is also surprised at the lack of reaction by Kate when
he tells her. Something doesn't seem right in his mind. He is also
unable to get information from the SOE about his head injury and the
missing memories.
As McRae delves into his past he is punished
for it, but it slowly brings back painful memories. He is also put into
the frame for a murder, so has to go into hiding. As he puts things
together, he is sure of who the murderer is, it is just a matter of
proving it and his own innocence.
Author Gordon Ferris has put
together a real page turner, a book that is hard to put down, one I am
sure fans of murder mysteries will enjoy.
