In this second instalment of the Crimson Lake series, the bodies of two young bartenders are found on a beer-sodden floor. Disgraced former police detective Ted Conkaffey and convicted murderer Amanda Pharrell are uneasy allies, working alongside DI Pip Sweeney on her first homicide investigation. Redemption is certainly on the cards, but it may well cost them their lives. The thrilling second instalment in the series after "Crimson Lake".
