Pursuit

by John Dysart

So you’ve invested all your savings in what you believe to be a safe investment and the annual dividends are a useful addition to your pension, and then the company goes bust and you’re wiped out. Even if the boss gets fifteen years for fraud it’s not much of a consolation.
Young Ian Blane discovers these hard facts when he has to testify for the prosecution at the trial of Bill Holland. He also discovers that people can bear a grudge.
Seven years later when Ian’s wife Eve is killed in an accident his life is shattered. When Pete Hallam, recently resigned in disgust from the police, contacts Ian to tell him that his wife’s recent death might not have been an accident and Ian learns that Holland has just been released from prison, the coincidence seems too much.
However, when he meets a young female journalist on a mission to investigate a merger which will be worth millions to Eve’s ex-boss, and she is ‘accidentally’ killed, another suspect comes into the frame.
Ian and Pete need to find out who is really behind things. Arson and an attempt on Ian’s life don’t deter them and lead to an unexpected alliance which will reveal the lengths some are prepared to go to when big money is at stake.
John Dysart’s second novel is a thrilling tale of business malpractice and confirms his talents as an adventure/thriller writer who can keep you eagerly turning the pages.
