A ruthless assassin at large in the UK and heading for a target in Cambridge ... an office steaming with jealousy and passion ... a hero's body found in a war museum and a disconsolate man – gnawed at by ghosts from his distant and recent past – charged with finding the murderer. With a steadily increasing fusion of murder, intrigue and suspense, the floundering Mark McKay finds himself thrown onto a hotbed of deception, fraud, incest and even a neo-Nazi's murderous intent. Set in Cambridge at around the turn of the millennium, The Path of the Bullet, the first of the new Cambridge Mysteries series, explains how McKay forsakes his hermitic existence on the Lincolnshire coast and becomes attracted to the beautiful city of Cambridge in both mind and body.
