DS Alex Cupidi has just been on TV requesting the public’s help in
identifying a woman found dead in a canal in Kent. The following
morning they have an identity. Cupidi and DC Jill Ferriter travel to
London to inform the son. They are shocked and confused when the son
tells them that his mother had stayed with them the night before.
On the way back they are sent to a farm where a body has been found on a
slurry pit. The police now have two murder cases on their hands. It
turns out that the second victim was an illegal immigrant.
With the body in the canal in mind, Cupidi checks with the Drainage
Board to find out how far the body could have floated. She finds out it
wouldn’t have. Someone with local knowledge knew that where the body
was found, was a quiet area.
As the investigation progresses, Cupidi learns more about illegal
immigrants, and what they will do to stay. When a third body turns up,
Cupidi and Ferriter are sure there is a connection.
William Shaw’s latest thriller is fast paced, full of action and
definitely hard to put down. This page turner kept me engaged
throughout. I can hardly wait to read the sequel.
