Bitter Business

Nicola doesn’t want to help the police again. But this time a child is missing and Sean and Tom know she can help. Unfortunately, so too does DI Jane O’Neill. It’s her case. The child is the son of an eminent politician and Jane has her eye on the next rung of her career. Can Nicola help once more? She found a certain level of satisfaction in helping before but she is wary of Jane, knowing that to help her will be to condemn herself to being used over and over. Nicola, Jane and Sean form an uneasy alliance to search for the child. Tom, meanwhile, is searching for the mastermind behind a local robbery, but the body-count is rising and a local woman is missing. A child and a woman. Can both be found alive?>
