Dying Bad

Frustrated by losing a child paedophile case, DI Sarah Quinn and DC Dave Harries have been called to a murder scene.  They are both hoping that it is the ring leader who got off.  No such luck.  However, later Jas Ram is pulled in on a drink driving charge and refusal to provide a sample.  Unfortunately the police can't hold him, although they know he is a groomer.

Meantime, Quinn and her team have a series of muggings to attend to.  The attacks are becoming more frequent and violent.  When two suspects are pulled in she and Harries question one of them while her DCS, Fred Baker questions the other.  Unfortunately he ends up in a physical altercation with the suspect.

Caroline King is a journalist who will go to great lengths to get a story, including interviewing Jas Ram and his victims, the latter under false pretenses.  When she is attacked and beaten, Quinn wonders if it is tied to Ram or the muggings.  As it is, they have two of the muggers in custody, yet three unnamed attackers are still at large.

Author Maureen Carter has put together another very good thriller.  Fast paced throughout.  A good read.
