‘A gripping continuation of the story begun by DI Zoe Finch.‘ Rachel McLean
Months after the traumatic events of The Boatyard, the PSD team is beginning to settle down – on the surface, at least.
DI Carl Whaley’s moved into a new flat, with paper-thin walls and miserable neighbours. DS Denise Gaskill seems comparatively untroubled, but that’s only because no one knows about her painkiller addiction. DC Harriett Barnes has become obsessed with unlocking the identity of the so-called Skeleton Key. And the newest member of the team, DC Lynn Hedley, has ended her marriage and started a new job in the space of a few short weeks.
The last thing they need is a complicated new case. And the murder of a known criminal found shot to death in a beauty spot by the Kirkstone Pass looks like the sort of gangland killing that wouldn’t normally involve PSD.
But when one of the investigating officers is attacked and crucial evidence goes missing, Carl and the team are dragged into the heart of the mystery.
Why was the dead man targeted? What secrets was he planning to spill? And is there a connection with a recent spate of vigilante attacks?
As the investigation takes the team in unexpected directions, sorting truth from lies becomes a matter of life and death. And with the shadow of recent events haunting their every move, can they unmask the killer before more people die?
The Viewpoint is the second book in the exciting new Whaley & Gaskill series, featuring Carl Whaley, Denise Gaskill, and a host of colleagues from the bestselling ‘Cumbria Crime’ books.
Genre: Mystery
