Book description
They watched as the car burnt. A smell of gasoline mingled with
the throat-catching stench of melting rubber, almost masking the
sickly sweet smell of roasting flesh. No one spoke. The time for
recriminations and the appointment of blame would come. For now
they were united by the need to cover up a crime and destroy the evidence.
As DCI Fenwick investigates a powerful and predatory paedophile
ring and Inspector Nightingale is left to deal with an
ex-serviceman turned vigilante, they are both forced to ask
themselves: when is a murderer not a murderer, and how far are
they prepared to go to see justice done?
'Corley...is a cunning plotter who frequently wrongfoots the
reader...Disturbing yet enthralling.' The Observer 'Highly
recommended...an unusually good series of police procedurals. Convincing
and chilling.' Literary Review
Elizabeth Corley was brought up in
West Sussex. Married with a stepdaughter, she manages to balance her
passion for crime-writing with a successful position as Chief
Executive, Europe for a global investment company, dividing her time
between London, Germany and France. A one-time committee member and
vice-chairperson of the Crime Writers' Association, Elizabeth is an
active member of the organisation yet still finds the time to pursue
her outside interests of travel, gardening and music.
