Another outstanding read by this author

The storyline has it all; a young Albanian girl Afrodita Bushku is rescued from the clutches of the gang that smuggled her into Britain. She finds security when adopted by a wonderful family. Unfortunately, the smugglers still want their pound of flesh and kidnap her.

Usually, a kidnapping would not fall under the remit of the Policing Standards Reassurance – however – DS Max Craigie’s wife asks for his help as Afrodita (Affie) is a client. Max’s wife is trying to reunite her and her young sister, who is still in an Albanian orphanage. Max, together with his partner, DC Janie Calder, their boss, DI Ross Fraser, and their tech wizard Norma Kirk think that it will be a straightforward enquiry with a quick result; instead, they uncover a web of corrupt police officers who will do anything to prevent Affie’s rescue.

I love this series. I hadn’t read a couple of the books and before I read this, bought the others in the series which gave me a far better insight into how this specialist group came into being.

Neil Lancaster, you are a born writer. By choosing to write about a section within the police who go after bent coppers, this makes the series unique. I love the characters, the setting, and the sheer intelligence it takes to bring people to justice.
