DCI Kate Daniels, along with her DS Hank Gormley, has been called out to
a gruesome murder. Someone strapped a man to the underside of a van
and the drove along the highway, dropping the van off where it would be
easily discovered. It doesn’t take long to identify the victim as a
local crime boss.
Once back at the Murder Suite, Daniels is just outlining the situation
to her team when in walk a pair of constables. They inform the team
that they have just been to the morgue where they have identified a
body, which is the brother of the first victim; he too had been
tortured. Does Daniels have a crime war on her hands?
A “source” provides Daniels with information that may help move the case
along. After that, things seem to go the wrong way. A young
prostitute is killed, and Daniels suspects that she may have had
information relevant to the case.
When Superintendent Bright visits the team, he brings valuable
information, as does psychologist Jo Soulsby. Two potential suspects
stand out. Now the team just has to gather the evidence. Can they do
it before more deaths occur?
Author Mari Hannah has a number of surprises in store for the reader.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. I’m looking forward to sequels.
