Book description
When two skeletons are discovered from Lamentation Tarn, talented
detective Mike Nash and his team have little evidence with which to
work, until a surprising discovery prompts them to contact law
enforcement agencies in Eastern Europe. A joint taskforce is formed to
uncover a criminal network involved in prostitution, drugs and human
trafficking, but Nash's preoccupation with internal politics, as well
as with an attractive Russian detective, proves to be a distraction.
Finally, a young victim escapes the gang's clutches, providing Nash
with much needed evidence. A search of the neighbouring tarn yields
further corpses and reveals an even more heinous crime. Two more
bloody encounters must occur before the criminals are brought to
bitter justice.
Bill Kitson, a retired banker, was born in West Yorkshire. He is an
avid fan of cricket and cryptic crosswords. He is also the chairman of
the Scarborough Writers' Circle. Depth of Despair is his first novel.
