Book description
The investigation into the brutal murder of a Blackpool policeman
during holiday season was never going to be easy, but the case is not
Woodend's only problem. His new boss, DS Ainsworth, is just waiting for
an opportunity to stick a knife in his back; and his invaluable
assistant, Bob Rutter, has been replaced by a new sergeant more intent
on advancing her own career than helping him. Then, it appears, the
Blackpool police seem to think it might be better if the killer were
never found . . .
