DI Charlie Priest expects very little from the monthly Superintendents' meeting but he's in for a surprise. Right at the end DCS Colin Swainby makes a personal statement. Certain allegations have been made against him and whilst he has nothing to be ashamed of he is going to resign quietly and without fuss. When the local MP is photographed in a passionate embrace with a beautiful woman who is not his invalid wife he decides to depart too - but his choice is suicide. Charlie is sure that there's a connection between the two cases but working out what it is is not going to be easy - on anyone.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending this book to The Bookbag.
For another gritty police procedural novel set in the north of England we can recommend [[Savage Moon]] by Chris Simms. For more on grief, try [[The Weight of Loss by Sally Oliver]] {{amazontext|amazon=0749079029}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=0749079029}}
