Summary
He was never truly gone, only biding his time....
Late on midsummer's night there is a splash in the river Thames. A body is found on an island, asphyxiated and laced with strange markings. For DCI Craig Gillard it's a baffling case. The victim's identity is elusive, clues are scarce and every witness has something to hide.
Meanwhile one of Britain's deadliest serial killers is finally up for parole after a deal to reveal the location of two missing bodies. The felon has his own plans to get even with witnesses, accusers and the officer who caught him 30 years before. And who was that? A young trainee by the name of Gillard.
An explosive crime thriller from master storyteller Nick Louth, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Cara Hunter and Robert Bryndza.

The narrator really isn't working for this book
I'm half way through and Instead of finding myself lost in the story which i have with previous Nick Louth books, and this series in particular, I'm pulled and pulled up time and again by the poor narration - Although it is the same narrator from previous books in this one the reading sounds leaden and the women's voices are out of kilter - the Scottish female officer sounds like a hairy truck driver and a couple of the others really robotic - I'm losing the story and the sense of the characters in amongst the clumsy narration

clever story but not up to scratch
sadly this story lacks the grit of the previous stories. superb detail as always but not such a griping police drama as in the past.

DCI wins again.
Typical Nick Louth, Easy but thoroughly entertaining with some good twists to the plot

Great stuff, this, if a bit mad.
I enjoyed this tale. Gillard didn’t seem to play a massive part in the story, which was engaging, entertaining and also out there (no spoilers). The narration is excellent, fitting the pace well, so it all worked.

Thought provoking with unusual murder
I enjoy the Gillard murder mysteries and this one did not disappoint. You can take it at face value or ponder on some of the more challenging characters and twists that are raised. This book has something for everyone. Some of the themes could have been expanded on further but overall I recommend this book.
