Christine Mustchin: AFTER JAQ
A former detective, now a doctor, Kate Green goes to
Brighton to take up a locum post, only to find the friend she was to stay with
has been brutally murdered. With the police keen to write off Jaqueline’s death
as a suicide, Kate turns detective again. Her investigation uncovers a web of
corruption involving drug distribu-tion and the trafficking of foreign girls
into prostitution. There are more killings.
Peter James’s 17-year series featuring Inspector Roy Grace has already made Brighton & Hove the ‘murder capital’ of south-east England! Christine Mustchin looks set to offer Mr James some strong competition. A sequel to After Jaq is promised. Ms Mustchin writes a lean elegant prose and builds her story to a thrilling climax.
