Book by Waites Martyn

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

When the savagely beaten body of a Muslim student is discovered in a rundown area of Newcastle, tensions rise to breaking point. Blame falls on the far right National Unity Party - but for once they appear to be innocent.
Not the best time for Trevor Whitman, ex-70s radical, to return to his native north-east. Haunted by his violent past, Whitman is tormented by disturbing anonymous calls alluding to the murder of a policeman twenty years before. He calls in Donovan's team to investigate.
But, following the death of a supposed suicide bomber, what should be a routine investigation takes a more dangerous turn as the team find themselves the target of a ruthless killer unlike any they have faced before. A killer who will do anything to ensure an explosive thirty-year-old secret remains buried. Anything - no matter who stands in the way. Anything - even orchestrating a brutal race war that will tear the city apart.
Praise for Martyn Waites:
'A thriller with a dark heart and guts to spare' Guardian
'Grips, and squeezes, and won't let go' Mark Billingham
