Synopsis

Peter Maxwell didn't want to attend the GNVQ course. He didn't want to get mixed up in murder either - but perhaps it was all part of death's rich tapestry. And while a disparate gathering of teachers was breaking ice upstairs at the Carnforth Centre, someone else was in the basement - breaking skulls. But what the killer couldn't have foreseen was that one of the victims was an old flame of Maxwell's. So now it was personal. And when "Mad Max" takes something personally, he doesn't get madder, he gets results.

An enthralling read I enjoyed reading about Max's earlier life when he was at University. Meeting up with an old flame was a shock to him, but it was the start of a murder chase. It was interesting having Sally as his friend and assistant in his quest for justice. I liked how the characters interacte......more
