Borrowed Light

Description

DI Joe Faraday is convalescing after a serious injury - but four deaths in a suspicious fire drag him back to work before he's truly fit. His partner, meanwhile, wants to adopt a child who was badly burned in the hellhole of Gaza. Both privately and professionally, Faraday is under threat. Ex-cop Paul Winter is still drug lord Bazza Mackenzie's trusted lieutenant. But his growing doubts about his new life deepen when Bazza orders him to retrieve a stash of missing cocaine whatever the cost. Two investigations: one official, one definitely not. And three very different men who must confront a disaster of someone else's making.

Graham Hurley's experience as an award-winning TV documentary-maker hallmarks his realistic and gripping take on the police procedural. He lives in Devon. www.grahamhurley.co.uk
