Bill Slider and his team investigate the murder of a victim with a
decidedly shady past in this gripping contemporary mystery.
The body of a smartly-dressed businessman turns up in the yard of Eli
Simpson's car workshop. But there's no ID in the pockets and Eli swears
he's never seen the man before.
Then a girlfriend turns up with a name, and claims the victim told her
he was someone's 'right hand man'. But old fractures and scars,
discovered at the autopsy, suggest a more colourful past. For 'right
hand man', DCI Bill Slider and his team read enforcer.
So who was Mr King? Who was he the muscle for? What did he have to do
with the Davy Lane project, and the blackmailing of an MP? And, most
crucially, what did he know that made someone decide to terminally
muscle the muscle?
