When a Killer Strikes

"Boss, we've got a body". Hardly what Detective Inspector Jack Dylan needs to hear on his day off, especially as he's in the middle of house-hunting with his wife Jen. Detective Sergeant Vicky Hardacre greets him at the scene in Colonial House, but what awaits them behind the blood red door is undoubtedly a murder. During a complex investigation, several prime suspects are identified. But who is telling the truth; and who is lying? Before the killer can be caught, another body is discovered, this time in a putrefying mixture of mud and slime, amongst the remnants of decaying food within a waste-bin shelter. Now it's the task of the man in charge to make the call. Are the two murders connected? There's only one way to find out, and that's by sheer hard work, and despite the distraction of personal matters brought about by the new house move. However, in his absence, Jen's pleas for help from his estranged siblings are answered, resulting in hidden secrets coming to light, as the impressive DI continues, in a gripping plot, to ensure justice is done in respect of the murder victims, whose bright hopes for the future were cruelly snatched away.
