Book Description
Alice Evans mysteriously falls from her fifth floor balcony. Unable to prove her fall was not suicide, DCI Collins knows that there is much more to the case. Alice’s mysterious final words, and what turns out to be a liberal love life, with partners ranging from cafe owners to British Government advisors, all convince DCI Colins that there is more at stake. Then links between Alice’s death and the questionable conduct of a high profile British politician start to emerge. This is a rip-roaring tale of murder, reminiscent of James Patterson, starting in London, moving to a small Spanish village and climaxing in Dubai. Along the way DCI Collins must battle against a wall of silence erected by the authorities in both Spain and the Middle East as he works to uncover a tangled web of vice and corruption.
