The third Mike Barton
novel
by Ian Gosling
‘Whores and junkies… nobody wants to know them… and
when they die; nobody cares.’
DS Jane Barclay believes the dead girl deserves better
than that.
Janek Lekowski is a big player. He has a couple
of big cars and a big house to prove it. His neighbours respect him, and the
people at the golf club and the gym will tell you, ‘Nice bloke …something in the
leisure business … must be doing all right … always got plenty of money to throw
around.’ If only they knew …
Janek makes his living off the backs of street
girls and junkies, but his lifestyle is expensive and he owes a lot of money.
Now the Taxman has come to collect, and Janek is
cowering in a corner about to get a kicking because he can’t pay. But the Taxman
isn’t about to leave empty handed. He takes something as collateral, and a lot
of people are going to suffer as a result.
