A case of burglary going wrong turns complicated in the latest Brock
& Poole mystery
At near midnight on a sweltering hot July Saturday, Detective Chief
Inspector Brock is called to a murder in a house at West Drayton, close
to Heathrow Airport. The murder victim is Clifford Gregory, the
accountant husband of attractive air stewardess Sharon Gregory.
Sharon's account of the break-in that resulted in her husband's murder
does not ring true, however, and when Brock and his assistant Detective
Sergeant Dave Poole seek to interview Sharon a second time, they find
that she has disappeared.
Brock and Poole soon find themselves caught up in a complex
investigation where nothing is as it seems and the more they discover
about the case, the less they really know.
