A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tweed and Paula of the SIS take over the brutal murder case of two attractive women from the plodding Chief Inspector Reebeck. A vital clue leads them to a remote and beautiful county, an area controlled by the human but dangerous 'Pit Bull'.
They meet Pit Bull's strange family: his volatile daughter, Margot; his other intelligent daughter, Sable; his well-mannered and observant son, Lance; and Mrs Shipton, their grim housekeeper. Into the picture appears the enigmatic private detective, Falkirk, and world traveller, Archie MacBlade.
Tweed explores the local village, peculiar in its ways, and meets the local gossip, Mrs Grout. With Paula at his side, he visits the strange town of Gunners Gorge, bloodstained by Cromwell long ago. More murders are committed. 'Not the work of a serial killer,' Tweed insists, 'I sense something much bigger . . .'
Is Finden Square the key? HQ of ONTRANTO, the giant oil corporation, is hidden in the heart of London and owned by the devious womanizer, Neville Guile. Tweed and Paula accelerate their dangerous race to solve the diabolical mystery. But time is not on their side . . .

Quatrième de couverture

In the heart of London, two young women are found brutally murdered. Tweed and Paula Grey of the SIS, heading up the investigation, find themselves drawn to a remote area of the countryside, ruthlessly controlled by a man known as the Pit Bull.
The local village is rife with gossip about his family, Pit Bull's three unusual children and their grim housekeeper. With Paula at his side, Tweed visits the town of Gunners Gorge, bloodstained by Cromwell long ago. There are more murders. 'Not the work of a serial killer,' Tweed insists. 'I sense something much bigger...'
Who or what is behind this spate of killings? Could the key lie back in London, within a giant oil corporation, hidden away. Tweed and Paula must accelerate their dangerous race to track down the killer or killers. But time is against them ...
