A police inspector has been killed. He was in a police treatment center and when he went out for a cigarette after dark he was shot with a crossbow and killed. Who has done this? Was it one of the men he had tracked and brought in over the years? When DCI Alan Banks finds incriminating pictures in the inspector's room, he starts to wonder if the man had been blackmailed. Was he corrupt?
There is another murder case associated with this one. The inspector had been haunted by the case of a young woman who went missing while abroad at a bridesmaid's weekend. Was that case tied to this one?
This is the twentieth DCI Alan Banks novel. In this one, he must work with a woman from the Internal Affairs group as she is investigating whether there is corruption in the force and if the dead man was the source. The two don't get along very well but Alan is focused on the two cases; one he has been assigned and the other he is determined to finally solve. His usual team is also involved and the interaction between them all is interesting to watch. This book is recommended for mystery readers.
