Ricochet

by J.F. Straker

John Everard is a cold, ruthless businessman. When he returns home from a business trip he discovers that his Spanish wife Juanita and baby son Tommy have disappeared, his house has been burgled, and his firm's payroll stolen. Moreover, it was his wife who was seen driving the thieves away in Everard's own Jaguar. Has Juanita been kidnapped — or is she implicated in the robbery? And where is Tommy? Now, with little police co-operation, Everard begins his own investigation... What is he going to find? Will there be an unexpected ‘Ricochet’ in this chilling sequence of events? Or will his investigations reveal something he knew all alone? ‘Ricochet’ is a gripping thriller from master crime writer J F Straker. Praise for J F 'A perfectly plotted story that is both chilling and memorable.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'. J. F. Straker was born in Farnborough, Kent and lived in Sussex. During the war he served with The Buffs and on the General Staff and then became a schoolmaster. His interest in writing began at an early age but it was not until the war when he had to spend long periods in the desert with very little distraction, that he completed his first novel.
