P.C. Harry Trasker is the third policeman in the Bath area to be shot dead in less than twelve weeks. The assassinations are the work of a sniper who seems to be everywhere and nowhere at once, always a step ahead. The younger detectives do their best with what little evidence he leaves, but they're no match for this murderer and his agenda.
When Chief Superintendent Peter Diamond is assigned to the case , he consults the dead officers' widows and begins to find curious connections.
This is very run of the mill mystery written in what I assume is meant to be an urban gritty real life style. What we get is a story with mind boggling incompetent police and one of the more rubbish endings I've come across in this genre. Don't bother.
Lastly this is a "Soho Crime" edition from Soho Press. This company appears to specialize in spectacularly ordinary sleeve work.
