Fatal Catch, DI Andy Horton, now published in the USA

Trust
no one, believe nothing���.

DI Andy Horton is
called out to examine a gruesome catch by two fishermen: a human hand.Is it
that of missing violent criminal Alfie Wright ��� or is he the killer? And where
is the rest of the corpse?

 

Soon Horton finds himself
immersed in a complex case where everyone has a reason to lie and no one is who
they seem. Assailed by doubts both in his personal and professional life,
Horton desperately tries to keep his emotional feelings under control and his
focus on his work. His instincts tell him to trust no one and believe nothing;
he���s not sure though whether this time he���ll succeed ���



'Plenty of red herrings and a surprising culprit. Series fans will
appreciate additional clues about the unsolved murder of Horton���s
mother, Jennifer, more than 30 years earlier.' Publishers Weekly
