DS Breen and temporary DC Tozer have been called out to the site of an
explosion. Inside the house they find the body of a man who has been
partially flayed. They manage to get out of the house just before there
is another explosion. It turns out that the victim was the son of a
government minister.
Breen discovers that the victim was a heroin addict. Could the flaying
of the skin been to disguise his addiction? Who was responsible, then?
With that, case closed, but not in Breen’s mind.
Things become complicated for Breen when a cop is murdered. Prosser had
been forced to resign by Breen, who was now a suspect. How will he be
able to prove his innocence, especially since Tozer has left the force
to help her father with his dairy farm?
Author William Shaw’s murder mystery has a few plot twists to keep the
reader’s interest, with a couple of surprises at the end. A very good
read.
