About this listen

A killer is at work in the supposedly safe commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers fast.... 

Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit: two bullets, fired with ice-cold calm. Gillard knows that the most crucial question in solving the crime is one word: why? 

Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. In this case there is no identity for the young man, just a curious brand burned into his neck. As the mystery deepens, Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark forces - people who believe in only two things: blood and a warped code of honour. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - as well as his own. 

At breakneck pace and with a jaw-dropping twist, the suspense-filled second DCI Gillard crime thriller is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Faith Martin.

An original and enjoyable read/ listen that keeps moving. The many violent deaths (only one by a shore) make me feel a little guilty that I enjoyed the tale. Thankfully, credibility is stretched by the events occurring in the life of a Surrey police detective.

So many books in police procedural genre can rely on gore, grime and body count. Have read just 2 of these, but enjoy the fast pacing, lack of melodrama and interesting areas the author explore in terms of culture or types of crime.

Engaging with good, believable characters

loved this story. hopefully there's a book 3. I'm starting to really like the main character. i especially like the bit of humour thrown into a dark situation. being Irish, i get that.

Great story
