"He's a thug - a really nasty piece of work."
When young Clayton Kerry, member of a notorious Worcester family, is found dead on an abandoned factory site, it looks like an accident. Some even say it was what he deserved. But headteacher Alun Blake's refusal to sugarcoat the truth about the pupil he had excluded causes outrage in the local community, and sparks a vendetta against him that rapidly spirals out of control threatening both his life and that of his daughter.
When Detective Inspector Summerskill and Detective Sergeant Lyon investigate, they find Clayton's death was by no means as clear cut as it had seemed and that they are at the start of a trail that will take them into the heart of a school and far beyond the boundaries of their city, to crime on a national scale.
As they work to uncover what really happened, Sumerskill and Lyon are brought face to face with uncomfortable truths about their own lives and relationships. Personal loyalties are tested, and before the case is through at least one more person will die.
"Sticks and Stones" is the third in the Sumerskill and Lyon series of police procedural novels.
