DCI William Lorimer has been called to a murder scene by DS Ramsay.
Pathologist Rosie Ferguson tells him that the victim died in the wee
hours of the night. Why had an apparent upstanding citizen been killed
in what appears to have been a professional hit?
A few days later two more victims appear. Both shot in what appears to
be a professional manner, in the home of a known drug dealer. Did he
kill them, and where is he? Evidence shows that the dealer's sister was
the ex-wife of the first victim. What's the connection and how can
they find her? As time goes by, Lorimer is convinced that she has been
killed, too.
However, when Dr. Solomon Brightman informs the police that he had seen
her just the day before her ex was killed, a new light is thrown on the
case. Could she and her brother have been involved in the killing
together? The death of a police informer creates new connections, which
in turn give another perspective to the case.
But, how will they draw the case to a conclusion? Author Alex Gray's
novel is tense with brutal killings and psychological intent. A very
good read.
