Sins of the Father — Graham Hurley

A rich old man, Rupert Moncrieff, is beaten to death in his waterside mansion, his head hooded and his throat cut. His extended family are living beneath his roof, each with their own room, their own story, and their own motives for murder. At the heart of the murder investigation is DS Jimmy Suttle who is fighting his own demons after the abduction and death of his young daughter, Grace. But who killed Rupert Moncrieff? And what secrets is the house holding onto that could unravel this whole investigation? The enquiry takes Suttle to Africa and beyond as he slowly begins to understand the damage that human beings can inflict upon one another. Not simply on the battlefield. But much, much closer to home.
