Sword of Damocles (Eddie Collins, #3)

Crime Scene Investigator, Eddie Collins, finds himself suspended from duty – not for breaking the rules, but for smashing them to pieces.

It looked like a straightforward burn-out with a dead body in the driver’s seat. CSI Eddie Collins finds out that this apparent suicide isn’t a suicide at all. And the deeper he digs, the more twisted this case becomes.

Eddie’s attention is focused on the victim’s husband, a curious man who seemingly has nothing to gain from his wife’s death. Only when he teams up with DI Benson do they make headway, determining that the motive for the killing is buried in the past.

But there’s more to it than anyone could have suspected, another layer – a mysterious stranger, a kidnapping, and a murder that has its roots in the 1970s – details of which are extremely sensitive, but ignored by Eddie as he relentlessly pursues the killer in a race towards his final victim.

Even Eddie makes mistakes, and he has no idea of the danger waiting for him as the heart-breaking climax approaches.

Some things are scarier than dead bodies.
