DI Andy Horton, while on leave, is walking on the beach of the Isle of
Wight when he comes across a young woman kneeling in front of a bunker.
She is in shock and there is a decomposing body inside the bunker. She
tells Horton that it is her brother. After the local police come to
get the body and take her away, she tells him that she is a psychic and
that is how she knew where to find the body.
When Horton returns to his boat, he finds that it has been broken into
and trashed. Who and why come to mind; could it have been the victim's
murderer? Superintendent Uckfield decides to bring in the major crime
unit. Horton is sure that the young woman in question is in danger. He
rushes to her home, only to find her, lying face down on her bed.
Before he knows it, he is attacked and knocked out. The house they are
in is then set afire.
Further information discovered by the investigating team determines that
the attacks could be related to deaths in the past. They have a very
determined killer on their hands. When a third murder occurs, the
police are unsure how it ties in, but at the same time are sure that it
must.
Many knots are woven into the plot, including one in Superintendent
Uckfield's back resulting in him being place on medical leave. The
local DCI is place in charge, much to Horton's chagrin. Horton is also
removed from the case, and he fears for the outcome.
Author Pauline Rowson has written another exciting novel that keeps the
reader guessing right up until the final pages. A very good read that
you won't want to put down.
