Publisher Description
On a freezing October morning, Detective Inspector Frank Keane is called to the scene of a crime on Liverpool's shoreline.The body of what looks like a man, brutally tortured and burned, has been tied to a pole on the beach. With very little evidence to go on, Keane and his partner, DS Emily Harris, rely on their gut feeling that this murder is gang-related and their investigation takes them, once again, into the murky underworld of organised crime.
Over in Australia, ex-Liverpool Police detective Menno Koopman - Frank's former boss - is enjoying his retirement. He has no plans to ever return to England but when the body on the beach turns out to be his son, Stevie - whom he only ever met once as a baby - he knows he has to go back and seek justice for his horrific murder. But there's a fine line between justice and revenge...
Customer Reviews
It's a good 'un
I've never really been into crime thrillers but this one is gripping. I've found myself sat at work thinking about it, and have even started going to bed early to make sure I have some reading time (that's a first!)
The characters are strong, and the characters are believable. The storyline flips from frustrated coppers to evil bad guys with ease.
It's dark, interesting, and gives you plenty to think about. Well recommended.
A brilliant dark story, unputdownable.
Do not read this novel if you have plans to do anything, I could not stop reading once it had its hooks in me.
Brilliantly exposed characters, full of vulnerabilities, matched to an inventive yet believable international web of intrigue kept me turning the pages to the superb, unexpected climax and left me wanting more.
Let's hope we're not kept waiting too long for more from Keanne and Harris. Highly recommended.
