With Courage With Fear: An Alicia Friend Investigation

Since returning from assignment in America, DS Alicia Friend has been grounded at a desk, her new boss unwilling to risk her in the field. But when Alicia's former partner requests her input, the SCA cannot refuse. It only involves interviewing a young terror suspect, after all. But Alicia backs her partner's suspicions and links the crime to a seemingly unconnected incident. Then a third attack occurs, and there is no denying it: someone is coordinating these vicious incidents, and the endgame is building. Back in full flow, the sometimes-annoyingly-perky detective summons all her brain power to push the investigation toward a seemingly benign cult, hindered at every turn by the group's lawyer, by the detective seeking to replace her, and by a hierarchy as interested in politics as they are in catching the killer. sees DS Alicia Friend face her most devious serial killer yet - one who may be even smarter than her. ________________________________________
