Pure Evil

Detective Jack Warr 4

Lynda La Plante
While overseeing a seemingly open-and-shut case of armed assault, Detective Jack Ward is warned by his under-fire mentor, DCI Ridley, that he has barely scratched the surface of the accused man's crimes. Digging deeper, he starts to uncover something far more sinister – and closer to home – than he ever could have imagined.

ALL KILLERS WANT TO MAKE THE FRONT PAGE . . .

The brilliantly gripping new thriller from the Queen of Crime Drama, Lynda La Plante - now available in paperback, eBook and audiobook.
______________________

It was supposed to be a simple case: a young man arrested for armed assault.

But it was just the beginning.

As Rodney Middleton awaits trial, Detective Jack Warr is warned by his mentor DCI Ridley that they have only scratched the surface of the man's crimes.

Then DCI Ridley is suddenly removed from his post. No one is to contact him - and no one will say why.

As Warr digs into Middleton's past, Ridley calls pleading for help, now accused of a murder he insists he didn't commit.

To catch a monster and exonerate his friend, Warr must weed out the lies. But what awaits Warr if he uncovers the truth?
