The Book of Ashes (The Delaney and Asha Mysteries, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

At last a new Delaney & Asha mystery following their debut in 'We Feel Your Pain - so you don't have to'.

“This was supposed to be a simple trace job. Find the writer, bank the money. Now it’s a horror show. Someone is going to great lengths to keep something secret."

Wolfie Sigurdsson had been paid $10,000 by Brin Martinet to write a biography of his father, the former Olympian shooter, renowned photographer and benefactor to Berg City – now living in a secure dementia facility. Easy money for Wolfie, but he hasn’t delivered. When Delaney finally tracks Wolfie down in a remote surfing town in a freezing New England, he claims he’s being watched, told not to write a single word. But by whom? What secrets has Wolfie uncovered? He won’t tell and Delaney thinks he’s just another drunk writer with pathetic excuses. Nevertheless Wolfie is clearly terrified.

Delaney's partner, Asha, jokes that maybe this is something to do with the truth about what really went down on the grassy knoll in Dallas. Old Man Martinet would be the right age and an expert shooter. Asha digs into the old man’s photographic archives and uncovers the horrifying truth about the man with no memory. But when Martinet senior abruptly goes missing from the secure care facility, they discover the FBI is suddenly interested. Now they begin to worry that they too might have to vanish. This father has a terrible secret. Has he been faking dementia to escape justice?
But who can they trust with this information? It goes all the way up the chain of command.
Delaney knows that no one will want the facts to be exposed. Absolutley no one.
Some secrets are meant to be kept forever.
