Book description
A sunny evening, a tranquil garden and an old man brutally gunned
down on his doorstep.
In the pretty and tranquil market town of Kirkluce a proposed
superstore development has divided the population in an increasingly
bitter war. The low-level aggression of bored youth that is generally
tolerated has become sinister. The bloodied carcass of a sheep
abandoned in the streets is more than just unpleasant vandalism and
teenage bikers, terrorising a woman to breaking point, are impossible
to control.
When a second victim is killed in what seems a random shooting, the
fear in the town becomes tangible. DI Fleming will not accept that the
crimes are motiveless, but she struggles to make sense of the two
murders, when nothing makes sense any more and no one will believe
anything. Not even the truth.
