The Gordian Knot:

Stone & Randall #2

by Tim Ellis

DI Molly Stone returns to work after her ordeal in Jacob’s Ladder and – together with her partner Tony Read – must solve the case of a crucified priest. Cole Randall is now a private investigator and agrees to look into the disappearance of a husband and wife from the Blackwall Tunnel. For both of them, matters are complicated when an old case of a convicted rapist and murderer is reviewed by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), and Randall catches Jacob Hansen in Molly's flat. But . . . nothing is what it seems, and sometimes you have to do what is wrong to make things right.

WHAT A CLIFFHANGER TO BE LEFT WITH! Roll on Part 3!!! The characters so like able, another story line that grips you. Another bone chilling ending that introduces the next part of this saga!
