Deadfall. The Jack Drummond Thrillers, #2

Inspector Jack Drummond faced an internal police investigation after a murder suspect he'd been questioning committed suicide in a police cell. The death hadn't been his fault but the top brass clearly had it in for him. He sees his posting from Glasgow to Inverness as his punishment. At a low ebb and still smarting from the injustice of it all, Drummond meets and moves in with Saffron, the glamorous daughter of wealthy Inverness land owner, Marcus Dunbar.
When Saffron inexplicably vanishes, leaving a trail of evidence pointing to Drummond having been involved in her disappearance, he begins to suspect a set up. As things start to escalate out of his control and he faces an abduction charge, only his new sidekick, DS Nick Rougvie, is prepared to stand by him. But will his support alone be enough for Drummond to prove his innocence?With increasing concern over the continued silence from Saffron and the pressure her well connected father is heaping on the police, new evidence emerges.
Drummond's abduction charge escalates to murder. Deadfall is the second book in Rena George's exciting new crime thriller series featuring surprising plot twists, compelling characters and a flawed cop who like to dish out justice with his fists. If you are a fan of traditional detective fiction in a vivid setting that make you believe you are there, you will love this one.
