Death Surge

DI Andy Horton is sailing his yacht when he receives a distressing phone call from DS Barney Cantelli that his nephew, Johnnie, is missing.  Horton immediately turns his yacht back to port to begin searching for the man.

Europol agent Harriet Eames offers Horton help, but he is unsure as to whether he can trust her.  He feels that she is withholding information, despite providing him with some potential leads.

When a body is found, badly burned in a tunnel, Horton wonders if it is the missing man.  The evidence points to this being a murder.  Horton is shocked the next morning when the big guns are in attendance at the meeting.  They tell him and his team that Johnnie could be part of a jewelry heist team, which they had been investigating for some time.

As the team gets further into their investigation, it appears that there is a connection to Johnnie's old teenage gang.  One of the former gang is dead and two others have also suddenly disappeared.

Horton will solve the jewelry heist scheme, but that wasn't his intention.  He still needs to find Johnnie before he too, becomes a fatality.  Author Pauline Rowson has written a fast paced, action filled thriller that is hard to put down.  An excellent read.
