Hard Evidence

Jackie Malone has been murdered. Her body lies in a pool of blood in the North London flat where she worked as a prostitute. Deep knife wounds have been gouged into the corpse and the hands and feet are tied with coat hanger wire. For Detective Inspector Jack Delaney this is no ordinary case. He knew Jackie and she left desperate messages on his answer phone just hours before she was killed. There are no immediate leads and no obvious suspects, but the fear in Jackie's voice tells Delaney that this was no random act of violence. As Delaney tries to track down the killer, suspicions are raised about the nature of his relationship with the dead woman. His tough and uncompromising attitude has made him some powerful enemies on the force, and he soon finds himself caught in a deadly fight to clear his name.
