"Will you do some forensic tests, look for footprints
around the tree and establish where the rope came from?" James asked, the
words tumbling from his mouth in a rush. "I'm at my wit's end trying to
reassure Linda. I thought if we simply ignored it, they would stop but it's
starting to damage my wife's health.
I've called you in for her benefit.
It would help if I could tell her something constructive is being
done..."
Digby returns to his parents home after being released by
the courts. The accident that sent him there becomes the focus of a possible
revenge plot against the man, James Palmer, that lied and blamed him.
Two years later Detective Chief Inspector Peter Hatherall is
assigned to Palmer's complaint case. He feels someone is after him. Threats and
vandalism seem to prevail at his farm. A
noose hanging in his yard is the current threat.
Peter and his partner Fiona are looking into the case when
things take a turn for the worse. Slowly
the clues and the vandalism build, resulting is some more serious crime. Can
Peter and Fiona find who is doing this? Will Palmer and his wife Linda and
their boys be safe?
Chasing clues through the English countryside, Peter and
Fiona have their own issues to deal with, along with mounting crime scenes and
suspects. James Palmer isn't someone
you're going to feel sorry for. If anything you want them to solve it for his
wife's and son's sake. Not everyone is
going to survive intact through the revenge plot. One complication leads to
another. You'll have to follow the clever clues!
This story was full of little twists and turns. The obvious
is not necessarily the answer. Cleverly written with characters that became
more clear as the story progressed. It started out surprising and continued
through until the end. I really enjoyed
reading this unique mystery.
