Deep Cover

York. The body of a sex worker is found in the woods, but it's not where she died. How did she get there? And who put her there?

As well as answering those questions, Geraldine Steel has another unanswered question: where has her colleague and friend Ian Peterson disappeared to?

The latest brilliant instalment in the series.

The latest Steel and Peterson thriller sees Geraldine in York, tracking down the killer of two women, while Ian is undercover in London infiltrating a major drugs gang while also trying to put right a mistake he made which outraged Geraldine. A deft plot, a brooding sense of menace and Leigh Russell's skillful portrayal of the characters' dilemmas make this a worthy addition to the series.

Another engaging instalment in this well established series. Geraldine and Ian working separately gives the dynamic a boost and adds the element of danger that is missing from the case in York.

Deep Cover is the newest addition in the Geraldine Steel series.

Geraldine is in York investigating the death of a sex worker when another woman is discovered dead. Are the two connected? It's Geraldine’s job to find out. Meanwhile her colleague Ian Peterson is undercover in London trying to infiltrate a drug gang in the hope of putting right a wrong decision he made, but is he putting himself in jeopardy?

Another good instalment in this series. I look forward to the next one.

This is the 16th book in the DI Geraldine Steel police procedural series, set in York. Her partner, Ian has gone undercover in London, being unable to tell anyone he was going. Geraldine is working on a sex worker murder incident with no obvious clues or suspects. It doesn’t help that Geraldine is worrying about what’s happing with Ian, especially the way their relationship had ended recently.

It’s another well plotted book, fast paced with established main characters, who are believable and likeable. The chapters are split between Ian’s under cover work, Geraldines murder investigations and the murderers attempt to convince himself he’s outwitted the police. Absorbing story telling, and I’m sure this won’t be the last book in this series.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
