A compelling story with a procedural authenticity that few authors can match.' M.W. Craven, author of The Puppet Show
The second in the D.I. Jack Dylan series, set in Yorkshire and written by the husband and wife team who are the storyline consultants to TV's Happy Valley and Scott & Bailey
Detective Inspector Jack Dylan has two unconnected murders to solve. And one of his detectives has gone missing. Long hours are part of Dylan's job, but his relationship is suffering and he wants to save it.
With the pressure mounting, Dylan needs to find out why a young woman was burned alive in a public park while half a million pounds of her money has been stolen. Usually the search for the murderer begins with the immediate family but this time Dylan fears that his own missing sergeant may be involved. R.C. Bridgestock is the name that husband and wife co-authors Robert (Bob) and Carol Bridgestock write under. Between them they have nearly fifty years of police experience, offering an authentic edge to their stories. The writing duo created the character DI Jack Dylan, a down-to-earth detective, written with warmth and humour.
Bob was a highly commended career detective of thirty years, retiring at the rank of Detective Superintendent. He was also a trained hostage negotiator dealing with suicide interventions, kidnap, terrorism and extortion. As a police civilian supervisor Carol also received a Chief Constable's commendation for outstanding work.
