Synopsis

The car that ploughs into the bus stop early one morning leaves a trail of death and destruction behind it.

DS Ferreira and DI Zigic are called in from the Peterborough Hate Crimes Unit to handle the hit-and-run, but with another major case on their hands, one with disturbing Neo-Nazi overtones, they are relieved when there seems to be an obvious suspect. But the case isn't that simple and with tensions erupting in the town leading to more violence, the media are soon hounding them for answers.

Ferreira believes that local politician Richard Shotton, head of a recently established right-wing party, must be involved somehow. Journalists have been quick to acclaim Shotton, with his Brazilian wife and RAF career, as a serious contender for a major political career, despite his extremist views, but is his party a cover for something far more dangerous?

Goodreads review by Monika on June 10, 2016

Jag har nog längtat efter den här boken ända sedan jag läste första delen i serien om Zigic och Ferreira, Lång väg hem, för drygt ett och ett halvt år sedan. Det verkar vara något med Eva Dolans berättarstil som passar mig väldigt bra. Läs mer på min blogg......more
