Publisher Description
For DCI Gillard, sometimes old sins cast long shadows…
Under a motorway flyover lies the body of a young man. Days earlier, he had been involved in an altercation with DCI Craig Gillard’s pregnant partner Sam. Now he’s dead…
Meanwhile, something is brewing in the criminal underworld. Whispers of a big job have reached the Met’s Flying Squad. Something is going to be stolen, and soon. Something worth £500m.
But what? And where? And how does it relate to the body under the overpass? It should be a simple case: stop the burglary, crack the gang, find the murderer – but for Gillard, once again it’s personal…
Fast-paced and utterly unputdownable, the next instalment of the DCI Gillard series is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Stuart Macbride and Faith Martin.
Customer Reviews
Jumping Headfirst into the 21st Century
Most detective novels are firmly grounded in Poe‘s Gold Bug and Doyle’s Sherlock— both excellent denizens of the Victorian Age. (Alert: TMI) Here Louth misleads us into three separate investigations that all relate to one beautifully big crime. While DCI Craig is looking for an old-fashioned heist, a clever gang of old southie villains goes high tech. That’s all I will say about the plot at this time. I hope you enjoy the book.
