I just finished reading a book by one of Britain's most ingenious crime writers.Four bodies, one suspect, no trace. The first case for detective superintendent Roy Grace.
The story is about a harmless stag night prank. A few hours later four of his best friends are dead and Michael Harrison has disappeared. With only three days to the wedding, Detective Superintendent Grace - a man haunted by the shadow of his own missing wife - is contacted by Michael's beautiful, distraught fianc??e, Ashley Harper. Grace discovers that the one man who ought to know Michael Harrison's whereabouts is saying nothing. But then he has a lot to gain - more than anyone realizes. For one man's disaster is another man's fortune...Dead Simple...! Excellent read.
I am currently reading "State of War" by James Risen
It basically is the alleged secret history of the CIA and the Bush Administration
I am currently reading The Light House by P.D. James
Combe Island off the Cornish coast has a bloodstained history of piracy and cruelty but now, privately owned, it offers respite to over-stressed men and women in positions of high authority who require privacy and guaranteed security. But the peace of Combe is violated when one of the distinguished visitors is bizarrely murdered.
I'm somewhere in the middle of the 300 pages, and can't wait till the end.
