No Lovelier Death

A judge and his wife go away on holiday and lose everything. While they
are away their 17-year-old daughter throws a party, it goes out of
control, there is a riot, and she and her boyfriend are murdered. A
massive police investigation, stretching the force's resources to
breaking point, is launched with DI Faraday in charge. The judge's
neighbor who has promised to keep a eye on things while he was away
feels he owes the man a debt. And he has his own reputation to think
about. He wants the name of the killer. Perhaps it's the neighbor, Bazza
McKenzie, a man who made his fortune supplying the city with class-A
drugs. Or maybe it's the man in his organization charged with getting
the job done, ex-DC Paul Winter. In Graham Hurley's gripping new crime
thriller Faraday and Winter are finally on the opposite sides of the
law, but they're both after the same thing. Paul Winter is treading his
most dangerous line yet.
