An Urgent Murder is a thrilling detective novel form Alex Winchester.
A murder had to be performed. And urgently! Should the victim be made to suffer? Perhaps.
And if the blame could be placed on an innocent person? So what?
A murder is undertaken in a home. When the police find the murder weapon (a jar of poison apparently with the fingerprints of the killer on it, the police declare that the case is closed. The nurse (whose fingerprints were those on the bottle) does not admit to the murder, but then she doesn't actually deny it, either.
However, there's one detective who isn't quite so certain about her guilt.
John has had a long and chequered career as a Met detective. His attitude to policing is perhaps a little flexible, but he is surprised when he is teamed up with Alison who is a young officer from the Sussex Police force, who does it all by the book.
There are many twists and turns in this fast paced thriller. Who was the murder victim, really? Why did he have to die?
Can Alison trust John? Can they trust their own police force, or, as they suspect, is there a mole within their organisation feeding information back to a shadowy crime baron?
Can they use their skills and experiences as police detectives to bring the killer to Justice?
And will the killings stop?
Published by Matador at £9.99, this is a must read for all thriller and detective fiction fans.
