About this ebook
SOME KILLERS CAN'T BE TAMED . . .
The brand new Detective Jack Warr thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante - now available in hardback, eBook and audiobook.
__________________
'Do you know what a Judas Horse is? When the wild mustangs are running free, you corral one and train it. When he's ready, you release him and he'll bring his team back into the corral - like Judas betraying them...'
Violent burglars have been terrorising residents across the English countryside. But when a mutilated body is discovered in a Cotswolds house, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary group of opportunist thieves.
As Detective Jack Warr investigates, he discovers locals with dark secrets, unearths hidden crimes - and hits countless dead ends. With few leads and the violent attacks escalating, he will have to act as audaciously as the criminals if he hopes to stop them.
When Warr meets Charlotte Miles, a terrified woman with links to the group, he must use her to lure the unsuspecting killers into one last job, and into his trap. But with the law already stretched to breaking point, any failure will be on Warr's head - and any more blood spilled, on his hands...

A great follow on from the first in this series - Buried. The main character, DS Jack Warr is complex, flawed, and has lots of shades of grey in his professional life as an officer in the Metropolitan police. All the characters are well drawn and have depth, with Riley, Maggie, Penny and are interesting. Lynda La Plante is a brilliant author and every book she writes that I have read, and it has been a few is a gem. Have already purchased the next in the series and to my husband's despair, will have my nose in a book again! LOL.
