O knihe
The action in this novel takes place in East Anglia and India with a brief sojourn in South Africa. Sir David Fairfax heads some of the UK's most successful and profitable businesses. He is a Member of Parliament, a newly appointed Cabinet Minister and a happily married family man. But there is a dark side to Sir David. Privately he is a crooked, black marketeer, people trafficker and a sadistic tyrant who terrifies staff and managing directors alike. Did he really kill his first two wives in order to acquire their businesses before marrying his childhood sweetheart? Sir David has many dark secrets and one shocking secret he thought was safely buried in the past. But someone has discovered that secret and embarked on a revenge killing spree involving the gruesome and ritualistic murders of his family. What is the significance of vintage clothing and underwear found at the scene of the murders? What lies behind the family's bizarre Christmas presents? Are they echoes of the past, pointers to the future and the terrible fate awaiting the family, or both? In a highly original narrative spanning three continents, Detective Chief Inspector Ben Westwood of Essex Police and disgraced former detective James Palmer, race against time to solve the murders and try to prevent the inevitable - the death of Sir David himself. A worthy successor to the author's collection of short stories entitled 'Tales of the Completely Unexpected'.
