The Children Return

An ex special forces member has been killed and partially burned outside St. Denis and Chief of Police Bruno will have to work with officers from Paris to investigate this case.  Coincidentally, Bruno receives an email from a former army colleague who has come across a lad in Afghanistan who wants to return home.  Is he a jihadi extremist or just a lad who somehow turned up in Afghanistan?

Not long after this, Bruno is attacked by two men.  He survives, and a search is put in place for them.  The uncle of the boy in Afghanistan is placed under security as Bruno feels that the men were looking for him.  Once the lad is returned to France, Bruno must set up a secure house for him and his family.  Meanwhile the French security forces have the two killers under surveillance.

Things change drastically when a child is kidnapped.  Can Bruno and his team get him back without endangering him?

Author Martin Walker has some interesting twists to this thriller.  It is a read full of excitement.  I found the book very hard to put down.
