Tom Ingram and Maurice Mundy are retired police officers, who are now
with Scotland Yard’s Cold Case Review Team. They have been given a ten
year old case of a murdered 12-year old boy. They learn that on the
same night that the boy had been killed, a prostitute had been killed
and dumped nearby. At the time, and now, the local police see no
connection. Mundy asks to see the file anyway. The girl’s death was
regarded as part of six other murders.
A witness, who had reported a car to the police, when the girl was
killed, tells Ingram and Mundy that he has seen the same car on occasion
since.
While this investigation is going on, Mundy has a personal investigation
that he is inquiring about. A man has been in jail for 28 years and
Mundy is of the opinion that he was wrongly convicted. He sets about
gathering evidence, despite not being allowed to do so. He is
threatened by a DC, who is the son of the arresting officer.
Mundy’s investigations prove to be tough; it isn’t easy finding evidence
after such a long time. Can he glean the necessary information without
upsetting the apple cart?
Author Peter Turnbull is a new author to me and his story is very good. I look forward to reading more of his books.
