A Fatal Reunion (Millson and Scobie Crime Thrillers Book 4)
By Malcolm Forsythe
John Dennison dies quietly. The silence disturbed only by the sound of his legs thrashing the bedsheets, as the man on top of him chokes him to death.
Detective Millson suspects that Dennison’s killer is Albert Smedley, who was heard quarrelling with his wife Irene in the flat below Dennison’s.
His suspicions harden when he discovers that Irene Smedley has lied to him about where she was the night before the murder.
During their investigation, DCI Millson and DS Scobie unravel a story that leads them back to the Second World War, when four young girls swore an oath of secrecy about what happened one Christmas night.
Can the detectives break the conspiracy of silence before someone else dies?
