DECEPTION: A DS Oliver Cole Mystery (Book 7)

by Alan Fisher

The body of Abigail Rockwell, an investigative journalist and friend of DCI Jack Collier, is found on a Saturday morning in her office in Jesmond Newcastle. Because of her relationship with Collier, Superintendent Fox of Northumbria Police has no choice but to call in a team from Durham to undertake the investigation into her death. As the investigation proceeds, it soon becomes apparent that Jack Collier is a suspect, and the team at Northumbria Police are left powerless as Jack is finally arrested and taken into custody. A plan is considered that will allow Oliver Cole to carry out his own investigation without breaking police codes of practice and he quickly sets about the task of proving Jack’s innocence, or guilt. The evidence begins to stack up against Jack and Oliver is in a race against time to get to the truth before Jack goes to trial. Will he prove Jack is innocent, or will he find out that Jack is guilty and be forever remembered as the man who sent his own DCI to prison for murder?

Every book is better than the one before!

I do not recall a series I have followed when the next book is better than the previous.

It may be that I am an inexperienced reader but I have read many books since my haunting of my hometown library and I can recall haunting libraries in at least eight states so perhaps my opinion is worth a little. Alas, I am nearing the end of this series and I may have to start it over again. Rarely do I read a book more than once!

Intelligent and very interesting characters. I'm reading another of Fisher's books.
