Bill Kitson
ISBN: 978-0-7090-9049-6
Released 31st May 2010
Everyone
knew Gary Vickers was guilty- the evidence was overwhelming.
Convicted of the rape and murder of his lover’s daughter, he
is now due for release from prison. Against all advice, he
insists on returning to Helmsdale, where it falls upon Mike
Nash to protect him. But Nash has other, more pressing
worries…
With
extremist politicians fanning racial hatred and provoking
attacks on migrant workers, Nash has to prevent an explosive
situation from boiling over into civil unrest. During such
fraught times, Nash’s small team of detectives has little time
to spare for convicted sex attacker Vickers. But as Nash
becomes acquainted with the facts, doubts start to grow about
Vickers’ conviction. Proving him innocent will be difficult
enough…but keeping him alive until they find the truth may
well be impossible.
REVIEWS
‘Bill Kitson has produced yet
another great book and has developed his characters well from
the first of his books........The
book shows what work as a serving police officer is like
with budget constraints and conflicting work priorities. The
pace of the book keeps the reader's interest until
the unexpected conclusion’

‘A great new title from Bill
Kitson. This is Kitson's best Nash story so far, and the
characterisation simply gets better and better. I just want to
see Nash on TV - he's worthy.’

‘Helmsdale is a dangerous place to
be.... readers know from his first two books that he writes
scary and he writes dark. “That’s a hell of a blaze,”..... The
same can be said of this novel. Any more explosive and it
would spontaneously combust.
All throughout we have the feeling
of being skillfully led by an accomplished plot-maker who is
always in control.’
Jenny Drewery, Scarborough Evening
News. June 2010
‘Mike Nash is a great creation. A
charming womaniser, he is at odds with his superiors but has a
nice line of banter with his own colleagues. He paints a
convincing picture of small town life in Yorkshire and the
police procedural aspect is totally realistic. The plot moves
on at a good pace with all the ends neatly tied up at the
finish.
This is the third in the series and
I now want to read the first two whilst looking forward to the
next..’
Ron Ellis, Shotsmag, crime & thriller ezine. June 2010
