Alexander Macdonald emerges from the Gulf War with ambition. After studying, he becomes a prison doctor. Regretfully, his ambition has distanced him from his wife and deaf daughter but he has a new girlfriend and fresh hope. However, manipulative criminal Charles Bridge wants something from Alex, and threatens his reputation and the lives of loved ones to get it. Alex is faced with dilemmas. Should he satisfy Bridge, oppose the criminal, hit back, or involve the police? His is the torment of a good man who is fallible, makes a mistake, allows evil a foothold in his life, and finds it hard to recover as its forces gather against him. ”Thrilling, absorbing, chilling” – Matt Lynn "A gripping read" - The Evening Gazette "A book that would leave even Poirot on the edge of his seat" - The Crack Magazine "Taylor...knows how to mix sensitivity and suspense in just the right amounts" - The Yorkshire Gazette Peter Taylor is a prolific Black Horse Western and crime thriller writer whose previous novels include Trails of Fate, The Long Ride Back, and Stitched.

[Bonnye Reed · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was not able to make my way through this novel. Obviously a lot of hard work went into the story but I could not see my way through the many quirks and flickers to find the tale. Sorry.

Disappointing

Disappointed with the story's development. The first third of the book was quite good but then it seemed to run out of ideas.

Very good easy read
