Opis

It wasn't his fault, but James M'cleish has killed a man. Even attempting to swerve out the way, there wasn't a chance in hell that M'cleish would have been able to avoid hitting the figure obscured in the torrential conditions of a stormy night on the outskirts of Lincoln. However, after a series of grisly anomalies and revelations threaten the assumed clear-cut nature of the M'cleish murder investigation, the whole of the Lincoln police department is rallied to aid an increasingly puzzling case. When you're at the heart of the British criminal underbelly, appearances can always be deceiving. Called in on what he expects to be just another by-the-book investigation, Inspector Laxton quickly finds himself tumbling down the rabbit hole as a case of mistaken identity threatens to unravel a secret crime syndicate. When it turns out that the man hit by M'cleish's lorry had been operating under a stolen identity, Chief Inspector Wilberton and his partner Laxton venture into the grimy underbelly of the UK's most dangerous slums in an attempt to crack the case of their career. What started out as any other routine traffic accident paves the way for a plot much more sinister than anyone at the Lincoln Police HQ could have possibly imagined. Ernest Barrett spins a gritty, atmospheric tale of homicide and justice in his new novel, Murderous Exchange. Through a tangible and realistic depiction of some of the most haunting British crime scenes the genre has seen in years, Barrett makes sure that every blow, every gunshot and every betrayal cuts his readers as deep as it does his characters. Hard-hitting and always unexpected, the noir mystery of Wilberton and Laxton's story is impossible to put down. By the same author also avaliable on Amazon: Myriad (2015) Those Stolen Years (2015)
