Blood Substitute, The Gillard and Langley Mysteries

“Lashings of Bond-style derring-do” propel this explosive mystery starring the husband-wife team of investigators last seen in Cobweb (Kirkus Reviews).

Patrick Gillard and Ingrid Langley, formerly of MI5 and now working as consultants for SOCA (the Serious and Organized Crime Agency), are called in to investigate when a policeman’s horribly mutilated body is found with the initials R.K. carved on his torso. At the same time, DCI James Carrick asks them to make enquiries on a private matter: he has discovered that his father, Robert Kennedy, whom he thought long dead, is not only alive, but a criminal. Suddenly, there may be a connection between the two cases . . .
