Book description
When consultant anaesthetist, Moira Farrell, is found stabbed to
death, shock reverberates amongst her medical colleagues. Worse is to
come when rumours start to leak out regarding the professional
incompetence of her clinical director. Was Moira about to blow the
whistle on him? Was that sufficient reason for him to silence her
forever? But then contradictory evidence from forensics emerges,
firmly pointing to a petty criminal who had worked as a gardener for
Moira. DCI Ed Swift must unravel the tangled threads of the murder
against a background of growing concern for his own daughter who has
unaccountably run into trouble with the police. Then, unexpectedly,
the DCI's investigation suddenly bears fruit, flushing out a killer
with all the motivation for the murder. Will justice now be done?
