About this ebook
KILLERS DON'T JUST DISAPPEAR . . .
The unmissable brand new thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante - now available in hardback, eBook and audiobook.
______________________
When an eccentric widow claims she is being stalked by her former lodger, Detective Jack Warr is the only person who believes her wild claims.
Days later, she is found brutally murdered in her home.
When the investigation uncovers an international drugs operation on the widow's property, the case grows even more complex. And as the hunt for the widow's lodger hits dead end after dead end, it seems that the prime suspect has vanished without a trace.
To find answers, Jack must decide how far is he willing to go - and what he is willing to risk - in his search for justice. Because if he crosses the line of the law, one wrong move could cost him everything . . .

The third book in the Jack Warr series and I so hope that Lynda La Plante carries on with more books in the series. This one neatly finishes off some of the threads linking it to the first two books, but then opens up more, which you want to know about. You will enjoy this book more if you have read the previous two, but it can be read as a stand alone. A thoroughly engaging book and series that is highly recommended.
