More DescriptionIn the third book in the DI Jim Bennett series, a moneylender wakens in a dark hole after being knocked unconscious. The 'oubliette' is being used to avenge perceived injustice, with its occupants given an ultimatum; confess or die. When a second oubliette is uncovered, the keeper soon finds a suitable occupant in the shape of a serial paedophile. Simultaneously, a bungled art theft has left CID puzzled due to the thief's ineptitude, and the presence of crack on the streets is a worrying development. A charming con man, a geriatric thief, and a man with no memory help to push Welford police resources to their very limit. As the body count rises, Jim Bennett knows that time is against him and he has to resort to a commodity that his DCI doesn't condone; a copper's instinct.
