Secrets of Death

DI Ben Cooper has been called out to a sudden death.  A man has been found dead in his car.  It appears that the man has committed suicide by using helium.  But why is there a card on the dash of the car with what seems to be an online password and the words "Secrets of Death"?

There had been a number of suicides in the area recently.  Some were classifying them as "Suicide Tourism".  Ben is concerned that the suicides may linked in some way.

Unbeknownst to Ben, DS Diane Fry is involved in an investigation of the victim he has on his hands.

A few days later a woman commits suicide on Ben's brother's farm in a caravan, which she had rented.  In this case the victim had been suffering from terminal cancer.  However, Ben is more convinced that someone is controlling these suicides.

Author Stephen Booth does tie the cases together, but in an unexpected way.  A very good, quick read.
