DS Harry Barnard and DCI Keith Jackson have been called to a building
site in London where a body has been found. It was left there in
anticipation of it being buried under tons of concrete.
Barnard's friend, Kate O'Donnell, is having difficulties getting much
opportunity in a man's world, so she is happy when a crime reporter with
The Globe offers her the opportunity to take photos on a job he is
investigating. Meanwhile, Barnhard has DS Copeland forced on him
because the powers that be believe there is corruption amongst the
police in Soho. Copeland's task is also to find dirt on Barnhard.
As things progress, Kate gathers some photos which could put Barnhard's
career on the line. Witnesses, who are supposed to help Barnhard in
another case seem to be disappearing. How is he going to protect
himself and keep himself from going down?
Author Patricia Hall has written a fast paced murder mystery of the
underworld of London in the sixties. It is a very good, quick read that
is hard to put down.
