The Canal Murders

I absolutely loved reading this, edge of your seat gripping thriller . . . totally captivated me from beginning to end . . . fantastic. Goodreads reviewer, five stars In Englands East Midlands, a harried police detective juggles multiple cases that soon reveal the depths of human depravity . . . DI Tim Yates has been following up for months on reports of missing farm machinerywith no successwhen a local farmer and philanthropist is physically assaulted. Could this be a lead? If so, it doesnt take Yates very far, since the victim, Jack Fovargue, refuses to accept any help. Meanwhile, theres a more urgent case to attend toa decapitated body has been found in the Fossdyke Canal. This may be the first clue that finally connects a series of recent disappearances: a paper girl out on her rounds; a prostitute abducted off the street; an immigrant woman who vanished after stepping off a bus. After frogmen find two more corpses in the canal, and Yatess researcher wife notes a similarity to a long-ago case someone is already in prison for, the situation starts becoming as murky as the canal itself . . .
