Ashes of Betrayal
When the flames die down, will justice slip through his fingers like smoke?
Big changes have DCI Harry Grimm on edge. Thrilled to be buying a house with his girlfriend, he’s worried about his team coping with the recent death of a close friend, and the loss of another who has moved away. But when a suspected arson attack at a coffee warehouse reveals a charred corpse, it’s back to business.
As Grimm and his team race to identify the victim, uncover the motive behind their murder, and locate the missing owner and his employees, another body linked to the case turns up in Scotland, stretching his resources thin.
With a murder investigation pulled across two countries, and a rising body count, can he outsmart a killer and turn their deadly scheme to ashes?
Ashes of Betrayal is the gripping eighteenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you enjoy tight-knit teams, mind-bending puzzles, and ingenious solutions, you’ll love David J. Gatward’s latest thrilling mystery.
