Brian Price’s fifth novel in the DC Mel Cotton series features a ruthless MP tipped for high office. To realise his ambitions, he must eliminate the other guests at a sordid party he attended some years ago - any one of them could talk to the press and derail his career. Meanwhile, someone else is searching for an incriminating photo taken at the party and he will stop at nothing to retrieve it.
Mexton CID must find the link between the politician’s, apparently unconnected, murders before he kills again, while also coping with the kidnapping of a chemistry teacher by two young criminals who want her to make crystal meth. And someone is poisoning honey produced by a local firm. How will the police cope?
Described by Martin Edwards as “lively, well-researched and action packed,” and by Graham Bartlett as “Price’s best yet, and that’s saying something,” Fatal Image should suit lovers of police procedurals with a bit of an edge and a touch of humour.
It is published by Hobeck Books, as a paperback and ebook. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DHPHWQQP
