A Gentle Killing: Book 1 of the Gates Case Files

0/5 ( ratings)

Despised by his wife and ignored by his children, life’s going wrong on a grand scale for John Gates, an attractive, intelligent Detective Chief Inspector. His fallback in previous bad patches has always been ‘the job’, but now that’s under threat by an imminent reorganization of the District which may result in his team being disbanded and sent to other areas. Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, the body of a local teenage girl is found.

Within days the enquiry starts to hit stone walls, much to the delight of a malicious local journalist. Articles suggesting incompetence and recalling a similar case, still unsolved from many years before, begin targeting Gates and his entire team. His people are devoted to their boss, but he is uncomfortably aware that their loyalty to him means suffering an overwhelming workload and the strain is becoming too much.
