Still Dark

Detective Superintendent William Lorimer had watched in horror as a man killed his own daughter and then took his own life.  Lorimer now wasn’t sure that he wanted to continue policing.  He is sent to a place for treatment of his PTSD.  It is there that he sees a face on the television news that stirs a memory of a previous case.

Lorimer turns to his protege, DC Kirsty Wilson for help. But who could a lowly DC turn to for help?  He also asks his psychologist friend Solomon Brightman for help; Lorimer wants to visit a patient in a state mental hospital.

Refreshed from his treatments, Lorimer is eager to return to the cold case.  Fortunately his superior decides to put him in charge of the case.  Another of his protégés, DCI Niall Cameron will be on his team.  Surprisingly Cameron brings Lorimer information about a corrupt high level officer who has a connection to a drug lord.  Lorimer realises that the information could have far reaching implications.

Before long Lorimer’s team was gathering information on a potential suspect.  Could they catch him before he killed again?

Once again author Alex Gray has written a tremendous thriller.  I was drawn in right from the beginning.  It is an intense mystery that kept me completely engrossed.  I can hardly wait to get my hands on the sequel.
