A Song for the Brokenhearted

Cathal Breen has been at the Tozer farm for a week now, recovering from a gunshot wound he had received in the line of duty.  He is bored; the country isn’t London.  His friend, Helen Tozer, asks the local police sergeant to allow Breen to access the files of her sister’s murder.

Breen becomes very interested when he discovers that the file of one suspect is missing.  He is informed that the suspect had a verified alibi.  He had been with a policeman at the time of the killing.  Breen decides to return to London to speak to the policeman who now works there for the Drug Squad.  The problem is that he has gone missing!

The missing cop is found, tortured in the same manner that Helen’s sister was.  Who is responsible?  Could Helen possibly be the one?

Although Breen is on sick leave, he continues the investigation on his own.  What author William Shaw has in store for the investigation is terrifying.  With a story line that has a background in fact, Shaw’s thriller is an intense read, which was hard to put down.
