DS Diane Fry has been tasked with looking after CID in Edendale since DS
Ben Cooper was injured a few months past. She is working with DC Gavin
Murfin, DC Becky Hurst, DC Carol Villiers and DC Luke Irvine. The
latter group are concerned about Ben because he seems to be shutting
everyone out.
Due to all the recent rain flooding is occurring. A call is received at
the police station about a body which was causing s blockage. Fry and
Irvine start the investigation and call in Hurst to help. Fortunately
they are able to identify the body quickly. The pathology report
indicates the possibility that the victim had been tortured.
Fry finds out that the victim had planned on suing the paintball company
which had caused the bruises once thought to be caused by torture. The
insurer of the paintball company is the company that the victim worked
for. Two people named in the suit are known to Fry.
Villiers turns to Cooper for help, despite him being on extended medical
leave. Throughout Ben has been chasing his demons as a result of the
loss of his fiancé in a fire. Surprisingly it will provide him with
information that he can give to Diane, which will help her solve the
case.
Once again author Stephen Booth has written an engrossing murder mystery that flows smoothly and quickly. A very good read.
