The go-to place for writers in Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire
When a young woman is found stabbed to death few people in the force are too bothered – after all, getting murdered is a hazard of a tart’s job. But when she turns out to be the daughter of someone important, the top brass suddenly become desperate to catch her killer. So desperate that Chief Inspector Harry Hart gets lumbered with the sort of help he could do without, the vain and arrogant disciple of the Chief Constable. Hart and his sidekick Asha Kanjaria frantically delve into a bungled murder investigation from decades before, fighting to save their jobs as well as crack the case. And they reveal a hatred that had simmered for a quarter of a century until it boiled over into the killing not of a tart, but a treasured daughter and friend.
