Betrayal — Arthur Cole; Nigel Williams

Book 8 in the Terry McGuire series of crime thrillers. Are a series of brutal killings in New York somehow connected to a two hundred year old murder in Wales, and is the new President of the United States involved in a cover up? Private Detective and former SBS Marine, Raven Connor is hired to investigate and becomes a key player in one of Detective Chief Inspector Terry McGuire's most frustrating cases. Angry at his failure to catch the murderer of the Bag Lady, McGuire is soon in the thick of things again and has reluctantly accepted that has let the killer slip through his fingers. A missing person turns up dead and an apparently racially motivated slaughter of a respected shop keeper and his wife has the team investigating a number of suspects. Just as he thinks things can't get worse, McGuire's team are tested to their limit when a former prostitute is attacked and left for dead. Is a white supremacist group behind the killing of the shopkeepers? Is there a connection between the prostitute and someone inside the police? And could a two hundred year old murder lead McGuire's team to finally solve the murder of the Bag Lady? “Fast paced and the best in the series to date. The introduction of Raven is excellent.” Reader's comment.
