Dead in the Dark

DI Ben Cooper has been handed an interesting missing persons case; a man whose wife had disappeared ten years ago has now gone missing.  He had been arrested for her murder, but with no body, the case couldn’t proceed.

Meanwhile DS Diane Fry is investigating a murder elsewhere.  The victim was a Polish migrant worker.  Could it possibly be a hate crime?  Fry’s team is also working on a case of migrant slave trafficking.  She is told to liaise with Cooper because the next raid could be on his patch.

Surprisingly Cooper’s and Fry’s cases are intertwined.  Solving them is the problem.  Author Stephen Booth ‘s murder mystery seems to progress slowly, although the timeline is less than a week, it ends in a flurry of action.   An enjoyable read.
