Summary

A killer is at work in the supposedly safe commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers fast....

Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit: two bullets, fired with ice-cold calm. Gillard knows that the most crucial question in solving the crime is one word: why?

Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. In this case there is no identity for the young man, just a curious brand burned into his neck. As the mystery deepens, Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark forces - people who believe in only two things: blood and a warped code of honour. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - as well as his own.

At breakneck pace and with a jaw-dropping twist, the suspense-filled second DCI Gillard crime thriller is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Faith Martin.

Another good audiobook by Nick Louth

I enjoyed the first auiobook in the series, Body on the Marsh and Body on the shore is equally good. The narrator makes listening easy and enjoyable. Now onto book 3 in the series.

Mispronounced…

…words jar the ear and interrupt the listening - I wish narrators would do their research more thoroughly!

Truth or fiction .

Really a fantastic novel ,but am wondering if there could also be some truth in it , knowing how this author researches before he wries and releases it

Great story

loved this story. hopefully there's a book 3. I'm starting to really like the main character. i especially like the bit of humour thrown into a dark situation. being Irish, i get that.
