The need for justice…
When Inspector Flagg’s wife is murdered in a brutal hit and run, art student Toni Brent’s witness statement proves integral to the case.
But someone desperately wants her to change her story, and is willing to take very drastic measures…
David Mallin’s expert detective skills are called for in a case that proves increasingly complex as his investigations proceed.
He quickly discovers that there might be more than just one person eager to revise the evidence surrounding the murder.
Are Arturo Petrucchi and his band of merry criminals behind it all?
Flagg’s bereaved anger verging on hysterical would appear to show this, as he doggedly pursues the criminal boss.
Mallin clashes with both the police and the criminals, until it seems like he has nowhere to turn - except to a plan that’s crazy enough to just maybe work, enlisting the help of his artist friend Ruby Streiss… even if it means putting his relationship with his beloved wife Elsa on the line.
Will Mallin be able to remain concentrated on the case as it turns personal and he is targeted from all sides?
