__________________
DC Jack Warr and his girlfriend Maggie have just moved to London to start a new life together. Though charming, Jack can't seem to find his place in the world - until he's drawn into an investigation that turns his life upside down.
In the aftermath of a fire at an isolated cottage, a badly charred body is discovered, along with the burnt remains of millions of stolen, untraceable bank notes.
Jack's search leads him deep into a murky criminal underworld - a world he finds himself surprisingly good at navigating. But as the line of the law becomes blurred, how far will Jack go to find the answers - and what will it cost him?
In BURIED, it's time to meet DC Jack Warr as he digs up the deadly secrets of the past . . .

Bought this book last year and re-read it again this week as a prelude to the other two books in series - Judas Horse and Vanished that I have just purchased. Didn't do a review the first time, but can highly recommend it as a stand a lone, but definitely worth reading the whole series. Lynda La Plante is such a talented author, and her books totally engage you. I love them, but as soon as my husband knows I am reading them, he says oh well that is the last I will see of you for the next few days as you will have your nose stuck in your book and I won't get a peep out of you till you finish. LOL. So true. It is a joy when you get a book from a really good author that you know will keep you entertained and Lynda certainly does that. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS IS JUDAS HORSE.
