A brutal hit-and-run killing opens the path to another 25-year-old
crime. A brilliant novel in the acclaimed Faraday series, from the
author of NO LOVELIER DEATH.
Past midnight, a horribly mutilated body is discovered on a road in
Portsmouth, evidently killed in a hit and run. There are no witnesses -
and few regrets. Why? Because the victim had been terrorising an entire
estate. DI Joe Faraday unpicks the dead man's life, uncovering a world
of hurt that defies description.
Ex-cop Paul Winter, meanwhile, has been sucked into even deeper water.
Drug lord Bazza Mackenzie's married daughter is having an affair . . .
with a high ranking detective. And it's Winter's job to rein her in.
Violence, drug-running, kidnap, murder. Both Faraday and Winter must
battle against near-impossible odds. But whose interests will justice
finally serve?
