About this listen
MEET DETECTIVE RUTHERFORD BARNES IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES FROM A SERVING POLICE OFFICER.
Discover an absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist.
Just before midnight, Mandy is woken by a frantic knocking at the door. It’s her ex-husband. Drunk. Again. At that moment her new partner James gets home from work. Mandy hears raised voices. Then a dull, smacking sound. Followed by a sickening crunch . . .
DC Barnes is back on the job after an eighteen-month suspension. He’s offered this case no one else wants—and he’s in no position to refuse. A one-punch homicide.
The accused is Mandy’s partner James. An honest, upright citizen and a firefighter. The victim is Mandy’s ex, an aggressive alcoholic.
James’s acquittal is a sure thing. No jury will convict this good man defending his girlfriend.
So why does James suddenly disappear just before the jury reach their verdict?
The following day a body is found at the foot of Beachy Head. The injuries sustained reveal this wasn’t a suicide.
Barnes’s case has now become something deeper and darker than anyone could have imagined.
Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Helen H. Durrant, Bill Kitson, Michael Hambling, Peter James, Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Rachel Abbott, Elly Griffiths, J.M. Dalgliesh or Patricia Gibney.

Absolutely Brilliant
I can't begin to describe how great this story is. It's at least the equal of book one, if not superior. Its convolution is amazing, like a maze of duplicity and despair. It kept me guessing throughout, just like book one.
If you enjoyed Devil's Chimney you will love this one.

Complicated and confusing storyline
The narration for me was the best part of this audio book. The first half of the story was great but later everything became so complicated and confusing that I found it frustrating and when finally it was all explained it was unsatisfying leading to a disappointing conclusion. I still don't know who the bad guy was but maybe you will understand better - good luck.

I AM not in sympathy with the characters...
I see where this is going, we have to have sympathy with the police . However acts of violence and intimidation because people look suspicious or he doesn't like their age or clothes don't appeal. Compare with others this genre, for example Raebos or Mcbride, its grim, no humour or light heartedness. An obsessive sometimes violent character following his obsession.
Also the death rate is pretty outrageous.
There's too much melodrama as if he is writing screen play. I like the use of adjectives in setting the scene but sometimes its too many
