Short description

Crime, corruption and murder! A nice gentle start lures the reader into an exciting and gripping action packed story with a dramatic and powerful finale! Twists and turns will keep you guessing right to the end. Who is guilty and who is innocent? Who will live and who deserves to die?

Extended description

The book begins with Mitch Johnson returning to his home town where he tells his lifelong friend, Rupert Watts, that a young woman is going to be murdered. Mitch thinks that the killing will mirror that of a schoolgirl fifteen years earlier, a crime Mitch himself was suspected of committing.
With no idea when the murder will take place, or who the victim is, the friends endeavour to find the girl before she comes to harm. But they must also contend with Don Hague, a senior councillor and central figure in the dark underbelly of the town who holds Mitch responsible for the ruin of his career and his reputation in the town. The police are watching Mitch, and they are also watching Don Hague.
Who is the girl Mitch is convinced will die? How is her death linked to the schoolgirl murder? Is Don Hague, or his associates, involved? Can Mitch and Rupert convince the police to take them seriously before it’s too late to save a girl’s life?

It was the first book I'd read of Jamie's and a thoroughly good read it was. The characters were well developed and a nice little twist at the end

Review by: Ashrae on Aug. 01, 2012 : star star star star star
Having read both All the Fun of the Fair and Playground Cool, as soon as I heard there was a new offering from Mr Sinclair I downloaded it straight away without even reading the blurb.
Would that turn out be a rash decision...? Would it heck as like!
This book turned out to be a thoroughly stonking read! It started off pretty gently and then the story, action and indeed characters gradually built up to a pretty great crescendo which, along with the grand finale, left me almost breathless.
Like Mr Sinclair's other books, the careful use of description, along with great characterisation, meant that I could "see" the action very clearly - another one for the screen maybe?
I hear a whisper that Mitch and Rupert may return. I for one hope so...
