A football star's murder points towards buried secrets

Fair to Good Condition - Covers are scuffed with creased/curling corners and spine wear. Page edges are foxed with a black marker line.

The killing of Premiership footballer Henri Dumas brings intense attention to a crime that appears at first to have an obvious public significance. The deaths of two estate agents in a nearby flat and possible connections with a much older attack make the pattern far less straightforward. Crime reporter Jack Garrett and detective Laura McGanity begin to follow the links, questioning whether fame, jealousy or a hidden personal history lies behind the violence. As further prominent figures seem vulnerable, the investigation becomes increasingly urgent. Neil White's debut thriller draws together media attention, police work and long-concealed wrongdoing, revealing the dangers behind reputations that appear secure until someone decides to bring them down.
