Foul Play: DCI Jack Hawksworth, Book 5
Superstar footballer Luca Bruni is being blackmailed for a night of sex he swears he didn't participate in... except the photos contradict that. A media darling on and off the field, Luca has a perfect home life he'll do anything to protect, and more money than he knows what to do with. He's determined to defy the extortion racket.
When Detective Superintendent Jack Hawksworth learns that the mastermind behind this crime has already swindled a dozen of the world's most highly prized male sporting stars, he knows he has to keep the situation from escalating and prevent a media frenzy.
Intrigued by the creativity of the crime and the shockwaves it is creating through the global sporting fraternity, Jack begins a journey into a case that has tentacles far more wide-reaching than he could have imagined – and far more deadly.

Back to the UK, the book does in fact start with Kate and Jack staring at each other again, but after a certain point Fiona does stop mercifully banging at that door. If book 6 starts by explaining Kate and Geoff have broken up again so Kate and Jack can stare at each other I’m not sure I can bear it.
Gina’s involvement was a bit obvious but well written. Claudia’s death was sad, I think the stage IV cancer shouldn’t have existed as it lowered the stakes.
