Not yet thirty,ex-Police Constable Terry Davis, with a gaping throat wound as though a spiked glove or some wild animal - a pit bull terrier? - had done it,isn't expected to live.Flash,on the make,corrupt,he'd been forced to resign from the Force for accepting unauthorized hospitality from a known criminal,and had set himself up as a private investigator and paid informant to a Sunday tabloid.
The only witness to this savage attack is a blind man.But,when a full-scale murder hunt gets under way,Detective Inspector 'Jacko' Jackson and his attractive,gay Detective Sergeant, Caroline Parker,probing Davis's nefarious dealings - some very close to 'home' - unearth a sinister connection with the unsolved drowning of a teenage girl.With,stealth,patience,and finally with justifiable deception,an unexpected solution to a brutal killing is reached and a tragic story of misplaced loyalty revealed. Author's first crime novel,that displays degrees of inventiveness,pure expertise and narrative power that will ensure Frank Palmer a successful career as a writer of crime fiction.
