Penguin (Transworld) Virdee.

by A.A. Dhand

Brought to you by Penguin.

Now a major BBC series, starring Game of Thornes actor Staz Nair.

It is an ordinary Yorkshire morning, cold and miserable.

The streets are not yet busy. Police cars hurriedly pull up in the centre of town, but none of their lights are flashing and the sirens are silent.

A body has been found, elaborately and painstakingly positioned to send a message. But what message? And to who?

It’s DCI Harry Virdee’s job to find out. But Harry doesn’t know that the killer is watching him, that the killer is coming for him.

Because this is personal.

[Chris Oakland · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book, dark and gritty.
The story was fast paced, multi layered and a real page turner.
Will be reading more of Detective Harry in the near future
