My review.
Burnt out secrets by Adam Lyndon.
Detective Rutherford Barnes Mysteries Book 3.
For five long years, Detective Barnes has been hunting the killer of the person he loved the most. Now, the one man who could have revealed the truth is dead. His charred and blackened body is all that remains in his burnt-out flat.
I really enjoyed this book. I did like Barnes and Samson. This is a new author for me but I will definitely look at his other work. 4*.
Blurb.
For five long years, Detective Barnes has been hunting the killer of the person he loved the most. Now, the one man who could have revealed the truth is dead. His charred and blackened body is all that remains in his burnt-out flat.
A week later, a desperate, emaciated young woman hammers on the door of a late-night convenience store. She’s clearly terrified — and running for her life.
Barnes is convinced the two events are connected. He must team up with his new boss, Superintendent Samson Kane, to uncover the truth.
But their investigations stir up deadly undercurrents within Eastbourne’s criminal community.
And the two police detectives are vulnerable. Both Barnes and Kane have secrets in their pasts. Secrets they’ll go to any lengths to keep buried . . .
THE DETECTIVES
DI Rutherford Barnes was an ambitious, idealistic young police constable when he first joined the force. His eleven years with the police have left him disillusioned, world-weary and a touch cynical. He’s a dedicated police officer, although in the course of his career, he’s made mistakes and ruffled too many feathers — and is no longer on the fast track to promotion.
Superintendent Samson Kane, with his piercing, almost silver eyes, spiky punk hairdo and swathe of tattoos, isn’t a natural fit in the modern police service. After a colourful career in business, he’s been parachuted into the senior ranks through a new lateral-entry scheme. But although he lacks experience, his unconventional thinking means he’s given to flashes of insight that elude other cops. People talk to Samson — he has an ability to connect with the public — and an instinct for tapping into the streets and getting them to play his tune.
