Synopsis  (Amazon)

The games people play…

When a revered sports legend falls victim to a brutal home invasion, a nation is shaken to its core. Outrage swells and the press and powers that be demand answers.

DCI Evan Warlow, fresh from a well-earned vacation, is thrown into the cauldron to lead the investigation. But the victim, despite his iconic status, has secrets of his own.

Amidst the chaos of jealousy and rivalry that swirls around the case, a darker underbelly emerges. The pursuit of truth transforms into a gripping hunt, but whose truth is the team hunting?

Something else lurks in the labyrinth of deception. Something vile and twisted that could strike again at any moment... unless it’s found.

Another fast paced, gripping, police procedural that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

My Take

I continue to thoroughly enjoy this series. Each new story contains not only the continuing story of DCI Evan Warlow and his team but also human interest elements related to one or more members of the team.

Evan has just returned from a short holiday with family in Western Australia. He has the importance of family on his mind.

The new case in hand is the apparent burglary of the house of a elderly man, one a Welsh rugby star, once a household word. Ronnie Probert was bashed severely during the burglary, and the case becomes murder when he dies of his injuries. He was much wealthier than anyone had thought and so the motive of the burglary is one of the considerations.

This series is best read in order. They are really police procedurals.

My rating: 4.6
