Publisher's Synopsis
The discovery of a dead reporter uncovers hidden secrets...
A disused airbase in Norfolk sees the crime of the century. After a chance meeting with Ivan Ryall at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, Adam Yale is suspected of the murder of an investigative reporter in north London. But there are too many unanswerable questions about the crime. With the help of Nina Hollingsworth, a friend of the murdered woman, Yale sets out to track down Ryall, a disabled genius determined to pin both crimes on Yale. The trail through East Anglia brings various attempts on their lives, and the questions mount up. Why are the police ordered to keep Nina's identity a secret? Why does Yale carry several passports and an automatic pistol? Where did Nina learn to shoot so accurately? And why are the villagers of Little Newsome so reluctant to talk about Peach's Farm? Deceit, cross, and double-cross culminate in an even more outrageous crime than the first, and Yale and Nina need to call upon every ounce of courage as they try to prevent it. Kracht: a tense thriller from the dark side of bestselling cosy crime writer, David W Robinson.
