Evil Games

DI Kim Stone and DS Bryant have just nailed a man for making sex videos of his daughters, and they have plenty of evidence, however nothing to charge his wife who claims to know nothing about it.  But, will they be able to keep him jailed for life after two constables beat him up?

Shortly afterwards Stone and Bryant are called out to a scene where a man has been brutally stabbed to death.  It turns out that the victim had been a rapist who had been released early.  The killer had thrown the knife down not far from where the rapist’s victim lived.  It didn’t take long for Stone to identify and arrest the killer.

Stone is surprised when her superior tell her to get further background on the case.  It seems so open and shut.  After visiting the woman’s psychiatrist, Stone wonders why she was prepared to testify against her.  With the death of a client of the psychiatrist, Stone feels more distrust of her.  And knowing things about the doctor was certainly to affect her own psyche.  How would she protect herself?

Meanwhile she and her team have to continue to work on the paedophile case.  Can her team pull it together and close it despite some issues?

Author Angela Marsons' psychological thriller is full of tension, leaving the reader wondering what could happen next.  Stone and the psychologist have a tug of war that neither can truly win, but someone has to come out on top.  A truly engaging read.
