Falling More Slowly

DI Liam McLusky has just accepted a new job in Bristol.  Moments after arriving at his new police station he is called out to a domestic.  He takes DS Austin, whom he has just met with him.  On the way back to the station an incredible explosion on a nearby hill requires their attention.  Vandals or terrorists?

Superintendent Denkhaus puts McLusky in charge of the investigation despite DI Fairfield being of equal seniority and having been in Bristol longer.  Convinced that the explosion is a one off, McLusky is surprised when a young woman has a compact blow up in her face during her lunch break a few days later.

A third explosion later results in the death of a man.  A man on a powered skateboard had been seen nearby prior to two of the explosions.  After a fourth bomb, McLusky gets an anonymous letter from the bomber.  He holds back the information hoping the bomber will make further mistakes.

Author Peter Helton has written a gripping thriller.  I found it hard to put down this novel.  A very good read.
