This one leads on from the last story, when he was cleared of murdering an Albanian hitman trying to kill him. On leave, simmering with anger about how he was treated and reconsidering his future in the force, partner Jane tries to convince him to return to work by dangling a missing person case in front of him. As always, nothing is quite as it seems and different parties are at work, involving the Bristol Street Art scene (think Banksy), before Dixon finally unlocks the case and tries up the loose ends. All the usual characters are present including, Monty the dog and Roger Poland doing the autopsies, as well as Dixon's favourite locations on the Somerset Levels, Brean beach, Brent Knoll and Westonzoyland Church (site of Nck & Jane's wedding).

Graffiti is a dying art in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series. A routine missing person enquiry takes a grisly turn when a young couple drag a box containing human remains out of a Somerset river. The victim was a surveillance expert investigating an exaggerated injury claim--a murder with an obvious motive, until a police officer is implicated and suspended. Still brooding after his recent brush with police Professional Standards, Detective Chief Inspector Nick Dixon is on extended leave, helping his pregnant fiancée, Detective Sergeant Jane Winter, fight for her place on the major investigation team. Convinced that the death of an art student is connected, Dixon returns to duty, and when graffiti depicting the murders starts to appear, the race is on to find the artist and the murderer. But, why the paintings? Could an infamous street artist be involved? With colleagues questioning his every move, Dixon must stop a sadistic killer before another life is taken. Then a second art student is reported missing... No library descriptions found. |
