Review

"Waites masterfully pulls together...[an] intelligent, fast-paced plot about radical groups...[and] fanatical politics filled with surprises and suspense." (starred review)

Publisher's note

When the savagely beaten body of a Muslim student is discovered in a rundown area of Newcastle, blame falls on the far right National Unity Party-but for once they appear to be innocent. In fact, with elections looming, they are poised to make significant gains. Not the best time for Trevor Whitman, ex-70s radical, to return to his native northeast. Haunted by his violent past, he's receiving death threats over the murder of a policeman years ago.Joe Donovan, the hero of Martyn Waites' acclaimed trilogy of thrillers, is called in to investigate. After the death of a supposed suicide bomber, the investigation takes a more dangerous turn as Donovan and his team find themselves the targets of a ruthless killer unlike any they have faced before. A killer who will do anything to ensure an explosive thirty-year-old secret remains buried. Anything-even orchestrating a brutal race war that will tear the city apart, with Donovan caught in the middle.

Annotation

The third book by Martyn Waites to feature private investigator Joe Donovan focuses on a series of racial murders in Newcastle, England. Waites elevates the classic thriller plot with subtle explorations into the nature of the racial sects and splinter groups, revealing the often mundane motivations of people preaching extremist doctrines. Unlike countless other suspense protagonists, the character of Joe Donovan continues to evolve and mature throughout the series, as he is actually impacted and affected by the dark, violent world he is forced to inhabit.
