Slaughter e-bog

A wealthy family has been savagely murdered. The only survivor, a 19-year-old girl, sexually assaulted but left alive by the killer. An abundance of forensic evidence points to an escaped convict. This should be an easy case for Detective Turnbull of the Bradford Murder Squad - why, then, does he find resistance wherever he turns? Author James Stewart continues with his Detective Turnbull series of crime and punishment in Slaughter. But this time, the unflagging officer finds that not every criminal is bound by the same measure of law. Something mysterious is happening within this investigation. Justice is kept at arm's length by obscure parties hampering the case. What will Turnbull find as he digs through an ever-growing pile of secrets? Will the killer get what he deserves for Slaughter?
