DCI Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton and DC Kathleen Doyle are investigating
a murder at a racecourse. Unfortunately Doyle is in the DCI's bad
books due to an error she has made. The following morning they have to
attend the brutal death of a woman they had questioned in the night.
The autopsy on the first victim shows that the bullet had been
surgically removed, whereas the bullet went through the second victim
and was removed from the wall behind her. Same killer? But, what was
the motive? Not long after they are called to an apparent
murder/suicide. However, the first constable on the scene feels that it
is actually a double murder, and that is why he called for Sinclair.
As Acton and Doyle's relationship becomes more personal, Acton provides
her with an illegal firearm. He later informs her that the man in the
double murder was actually her father. He decides to remove her from
the cases because he feels that there is a threat to her.
Doyle is sure that they are getting close to the killer when one of the
forensic specialists is gunned down. She is sure that the specialist
knew who the killer is. Can she and Acton get to the killer before he
kills again?
Author Anne Cleeland is a new author to me, and I was quite impressed
with this book. It was complex with a few surprises thrown in. A good
read and I have added the rest of her series to my reading list.
