A fast-paced kidnap case resulting in love, murder and suicide
"Roddy Nailor kidnapped that girl and would have killed her. You know that, Anita, and so do I. In this business I am the Truth and the Way and the Light".
Superintendent Eddie Cole will go to any lengths to ensure that gangster Roddy Nailor goes down for kidnapping Melanie Goldstone, the bohemian daughter of Justice Elias Goldstone, who sentenced Nailor for fifteen years for GBH. With inside information from his snout Anita, mistress of the Head of the Serious Crime Squad and successful brothel keeper, Eddie sets Nailor up. But Eddie's ruse doesn't go according to plan, and with the key witnesses dead and Melanie in a coma it takes some serious investigation to reach the truth. "Marshall-Andrews invites comparison with a Graves, a Vidal or a Burgess ... he displays real narrative power and a natural flair for storytelling" Daily Telegraph
