Description:
A BLIND EYE TURNED, AN INJUSTICE DONE. High
in lonely Swinesdale, notorious burglars Jake and Boris Baddun perish
in a burnt-out stolen Mercedes. Known associate Dale Spooner leaves his
biological signature and the predatory DI Alec Smart moves in for the
kill. Spooner is convicted, and now languishes in jail.
A rumour reaches Skelgill: Spooner is innocent and can prove it
– a cast-iron alibi, a video on a hidden mobile phone. But Spooner will
not talk. At stake is the safety of his girlfriend Jade Nelson and
their young child.
While Spooner remains the fall guy, the real
killer walks free – and organised crime pulls the strings. Realising the
jeopardy, unable officially to re-open the case, Skelgill and his team
walk a tightrope. Their challenge: to penetrate a mystifying wall of
silence, and ‘unsolve’ a murder – while nobody notices.
