Reviews

[Jack Heath]

Synopsis: Paul Devlin finds that, when a cop is murdered, the trail of conspiracy, sex and blackmail leads high up in the government.

[Randy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another B (maybe B+) summer time mystery that kept me turning the pages. Written in 1995 is probably a bit dated with the homosexual theme. But I liked the lesbian cop. She could have her own series. Maybe she does.
