Die Back — Richard Allen

Heartless Murder and Ruthless Self-interest.

The second book, in the series, finds Superintendent Faraday defying orders as he investigates the disappearance of a local lorry driver. As he probes deeper he is drawn into the murky and secret world of intelligence and a US/UK plan to destroy the poppy fields of Afghanistan.

From the splendour of the House of Lords and the beauty of the Venetian palazzos to the deserts of Western Australia, Mark Faraday relentlessly pursues his investigation, haunted by the murder of one colleague and mesmerised by the beauty of another.
