“I need to tell you about the murder of Lucy Blake-Hall. I know who killed her!”
Those were the last words uttered by retired detective Jeffery Howson, in a chilling late night phone call, to Barnwell’s Major Investigation Team’s Civilian Investigator, Barry Newstead; the next day he was found brutally murdered.
And so begins, not only an investigation into his slaying, but the opening of a ‘cold case’ review into the murder of twenty-two year Lucy Blake-Hall, who vanished without trace on August Bank Holiday, 1983, and whose body has never been found.
Yet a man has already admitted to killing her and is currently serving a life sentence. Is he innocent?
From the outset of the enquiry DS Hunter Kerr and his team uncover a 25 year old hidden secret. Once revealed it sets in motion a dramatic chain of events; someone is going to horrific lengths to keep the truth hidden and no one is safe.
'MJ Fowler has written another page turner. This latest DS Hunter Kerr is police procedural at its best: dark, engaging and compelling.'
