Having fled to the Costa del Sol many years ago, his wife is surprised that he would be so desperate to see her again. When things turn nasty for Bruce, Kenton and Brazier are on the case - along with the strange arson attack on a local church. As they delve deeper secrets from the past give some insight into what may be causing the sudden upturn in the crime statistics. Can they find out the truth before anyone else is hurt? I love that the author made me think. This was a puzzling case and kept me guessing throughout. I liked the setting and the time period. It was just far enough in the past to show the big changes that have happened in the last few decades. The working relationship between the two police officers was interesting. One represented the more sensitive side of policing - while the other would have been at home in The Sweeney. But it worked. A well written mystery, dealing with a difficult subject. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
