Description
They say you can always trust a copper. They're lying.
They lied thirty years ago and they're still lying today.
When two teenagers go missing near an old mining village called Ledston Luck, an investigation uncovers more than a community crippled by injustice and secrets. It uncovers a dead body in a long-abandoned chapel.
Crime Scene Investigator, Eddie Collins, heads a scene examination that goes horribly wrong. The body is booby-trapped, and one of the team killed. Eddie is heartbroken and furious and is determined to find the truth Ledston Luck is hiding.
His determination brings him into violent conflict with the Professional Standards Department, and leaves him removed from duty, with public opinion and his boss against him.
Eddie goes it alone and discovers there are more killings to come, payback for horrific crimes that are decades old, but still raw. But before he can warn the victims, he discovers something else - he's in the killer's trap with a shotgun at his head.
If you like highly charged crime thrillers with a forensic slant, and characters that stay with you long after you close the book, you'll love Andrew Barrett's Eddie Collins series. It will appeal to fans of Kathy Reichs, Robert Bryndza and Angela Marsons.
To experience Eddie's battle to uncover the lies they told, buy Ledston Luck today.
