Farewell Gesture

By Roger Ormerod

Paul Manson hadn’t meant to kill his father. He’d just lost control. Now, back out in the world after four years in Gartree prison, Manson has information which could prevent a very different kind of crime – a cold-blooded, contract killing. Tracking down the target, a young woman named Philomena Wise, he delays passing on his warning with fatal results: Philomena is found dead, strangled with her own scarf. Dismayed by his failure, Manson catches the first train to the scene of the crime. But what he finds only lands him in the middle of a tangled web of crossed wires, fake identities and mixed motives. When another murder takes place a few days later, Manson realises he needs to find out what’s going on, and not just for his own curiosity’s sake: a convicted killer and a stranger in town, he’s now the prime suspect for both killings. ‘Farewell Gesture’ is a fast-paced crime thriller that will grip readers from the first page to the last.
