A Nasty Way To Die

by Peter Coe

Revenge and retribution have struck down four violent men. Investigations into their past had shown them to have been officers in Salazar's feared secret police. They had committed monstrous crimes against innocent people during that repressive regime.

Now was the time of reckoning and they are being systematically killed in England, Portugal, The Netherlands and Germany - but by whom?

Met detectives Sam Redwood and Julia Tremaine travel to Lisbon to join the Policia Judicaria in the search for the killers.

[Christopher Beaver · Rating 4 out of 5]

To call A Nasty Way To Die a thriller is to trivialise it. This book by Peter Coe is also an evocative portrayal of Lisbon in the 1960s at the time of the Salazar dictatorship and a cleverly worked plot that brings to life the insidious regime that plagued the country and its population until the revolution of 1974 that finally returned the country to democracy - an excellent read and thoroughly recommended.

Well worth a read. Peter Coe takes you on a descriptive journey through a decent storyline, decorated with fine dining and fine wines. Recommended.
