A Book of Scars (Breen and Tozer 3)
What you need to know before your trail
Helen Tozer will never forget the very day, five years ago when her sister Alexandra was murdered on their family farm.
Detective Sergeant Cathal Breen slowly becomes possessed by the unsolved case and discovers the Tozers were never told the whole truth. Alexandra was tortured for twenty-four hours before she died. But when he tracks down the original investigating sergeant, the man goes missing. And so does Helen.
Worse is to come however for the two men connected to this case met in Kenya, during the Mau Mau uprising; and the history that Britain has turned its face from is now returning to haunt it.
