Bruno, chief of police for St. Denis, has been asked by a friend to
check into the whereabouts of an English guest of hers who was supposed
to show up for a week long cooking class. The following day, Bruno is
appointed head of police for the entire district.
That same day he also receives information about a crime scene where the
missing woman has been found, stabbed to death. The man she was with
is found nearby hanging from a tree. Murder-suicide or a double
murder?
Meeting with his new subordinates, Bruno learns that the husband of the
woman who was killed is in a cancer treatment hospital in the U. S., and
the male victim is not who he seemed to be. Bruno also receives
information from a good friend that is an ex-intelligence officer from
Britain, that the dead man had assumed the identity of a dead
intelligence officer. He presents the possibility that ex-IRA men are
trying to exact vengeance for something that happened in the past.
Can the counter-terrorism group and Bruno prevent the IRA from exacting
their revenge? This is likely one of author Martin Walker’s most
exciting thrillers in this series. A thoroughly enjoyable page turner,
which I found hard to put down.
