One Man and His Bomb
By H.R.F. Keating
In the sixth of HRF Keating’s Harriet Martens novels, Harriet must cope with the harshest of losses.
When Harriet learns of her son’s death in a terrorist incident, her world falls apart. With another son gravely injured and her mind struggling to cope, Harriet must nonetheless focus on her police work.
With the authorities on full anti-terror alert, Harriet must investigate the theft of a highly destructive herbicide specimen. She must work quietly and efficiently, all the while fending off the grief and fear that threatens to overwhelm her, and unceasing fears for her surviving son.
Feeling alone, in a world where no one is quite what they seem, Harriet struggles to retain her title of the ‘Hard Detective’. One Man and His Bomb is a novel for the post-9/11 world, blending police procedural with psychological insight. It can be read as part of the series or as a stand-alone work.
