Description
Second in the new series featuring DI Ian Peterson
'Moments before, he had been enjoying a day out at the races. Now he could be dying.... As he fell a loud wind roared past his ears, indistinguishable from the roar of the crowd. The race was over'.
A man plummets to his death during the York Races. Suicide or murder? Newly-promoted DI Ian Peterson is plunged into a complex and high-profile case, and as the body count increases, the pressure mounts for his team to solve the crimes quickly.
But the killer is following the investigation far more keenly than Ian realises and time is running out as the case suddenly gets a lot closer to home...
