The Fourth Andy North Crime Novel by the brilliant S.D. Gripton -a little longer than the 50,000 words it should be-sends Andy and his indomitable Detective Sergeant Ellie Tonbridge on more hard-bitten adventures, including a pimp who sells young boys bodies - a false priest who is nothing more than a conman-and the disappearance of several ladies who were conducing a survey for a University that doesn't care about their safely. Chaos reigns throughout the novel as Ellie struggles with emotional problems and Andy loses himself in problems associated with his promotion. Meet another book full of new characters, good and bad who cause Andy and Ellie all kinds of problems. It all leads to the terrifying conclusion where both Andy and Ellie's lives are threatened; where luck and instinct on behalf of Andy almost get him killed in the rain and the mud of yet another farm. Electrifying, engaging and hard-bitten. Welcome to another Andy North novel.
