“She’s gone, but she still wants revenge
The wife of David Hunter died in a tragic riding accident two years ago, leaving him a very rich man. Now a senior partner in a large Norwich legal firm, he is attracted to new paralegal, Abigail Graham. They date, but two weeks later she goes missing.
DS Sharma and DC Jackson are treating Abigail as a missing person. This is in spite of Hunter’s claim that she is a thief who stole money from him, and the main reason why she has absconded.
Sharma is sceptical of Hunter’s story as it is so out of character for the missing woman, but if true, is there more to Abigail than she realises?”
It’s been too long since we had a Norfolk setting.

Alan Hunter's George Gently novels don't seem so popular since the TV series moved them to Durham...

"It's rare for a young woman to die from a stroke and when three such deaths occur in short order it starts to look like an epidemic. Then a sharp pathologist notices traces of benzodiazepine in one of the victim's blood samples and just traceable damage to the ligaments in her neck, and their cause of death is changed from 'natural' to murder.The police aren't making much progress in their hunt for the killer until he appears to make a mistake: Alison Willetts is found alive and D.I. Tom Thorne believes the murderer has made a mistake, which ought to allow them to get on his tracks. But it was the others who were his mistakes: he doesn't want to take life, he just wants to put people into a state where they cannot move, cannot talk, cannot do anything but think.When Thorne, helped by the neurologist looking after Alison, starts to realise what he is up against he knows the case is not going to be solved by normal methods - before he can find out who did it he has to understand why he's doing it."
