Présentation de l'éditeur

“I want you to find someone,” Deborah said. “And who would that be?” I asked. “Me,” she said. “I want you to find me.” Jack Shepherd takes on this odd commission and his client promptly disappears. A body surfaces in the mud of the Severn Estuary and is identified as Deborah’s therapist and a former client of Shepherd. He comes up against a local second string villain, attempting to punch above his weight as a dog fight promoter and the UK end of a trafficking business run by a pair of ex pat Serbs. Shepherd battles to stay on the right side of the law as he struggles to locate his client. In the process, he unearths a story which goes back 12 years to a bloody massacre in a Kosovan village. Finally, all the pieces come together in a series of brutal encounters in the Forest of Dean. Closing the Distance is a clever modern thriller where nothing is as it first seems. - Cathi Unsworth
