When PI Cliff Hardy was approached by an old colleague, ex policeman Barry White, to look into the unsolved case of missing presumed dead woman, Ramona Beckett he was highly sceptical Barry White had been a corrupt cop, and Cliff suspected he was still on the wrong side of the law he was also sure White would lie about whatever he told him But the temptation of the still active reward for evidence of what had happened to Ramona, even though it was fifteen years prior, was enough to tickle his interest.The ensuing investigation was fraught with difficulties the fifteen year time difference was one of the main issues but it seemed there were still people on the horizon who were determined to keep the truth from coming out Danger, manipulation, secrets, lies and corruption meant Cliff was unsure who h...
The Cliff Hardy series is always fun, and this one is no exception However, it is not Corris best work.The plot is inventive and zips along, but the ending was in large part easy to anticipate at least for me I also found it a little difficult to keep the central characters straight The best and most innovative members of the cast are Max Hawkins who is deaf and his assistant, Penny whose family name escapes me and who is paralyzed and wheelchair bound Their relationship, both personal and professional is engaging.But the downside is too much of this book is formulaic for Corris There are the usual beatings described in blood drenched detail, and the usual hook up with woman Hardy encounters The woman is not a stock character, and to s...
