Detective Sergeant William South didn’t want to head up a murder
investigation. He had good reasons not to. He is teamed up with DS
Alexandra Cupidi, new from the Met. The victim was someone that South
knew, as a matter of fact he lived not far from the victim.
When a local drug dealer disappears, South wonders if it is connected to
the murder. Then a body is found hanging in an abandoned cadets’
hall. South recognises the name as someone from his past when the body
is identified.
The following day, Cupidi tells South that the victim, who he thought he
knew, wasn’t that person at all. He is told to take stress leave after
attending a serious road accident. Shortly after that Cupidi turns
cold towards South. He wonders what he has done.
Author William Shaw has a few surprises up his sleeve before this murder
mystery concludes. There is lots of fast action in the closing pages,
which really make the book hard to put down. A very good read.
