Body Politic (Lambert and Hook Book 10)

When the ambitious MP Raymond Keane is found dead in a frozen lake, Superintendent Lambert and Sergeant Hook soon discover that the politician was adept at making enemies.

Plenty of people wanted him dead.

There is his former lover, Moira Yates, whose life he has ruined; his business partner Chris Sampson; Joe Walsh, a disgruntled constituent; and his supposed fianc©e, Zoe Renwick, who had been on the point of breaking off their engagement.

Moira Yates seems to have the perfect alibi. Since her break-up with Keane, she has been afflicted with agoraphobia, and is unable to set foot outside her house.

In fact, all the suspects have alibis, but, one by one, they are challenged by the dogged police work of the two detectives.

And when Lambert finds an object by the lake he is sure he has his murderer in his grasp...

But the 'Body Politic' has surprises in store he could not have imagined.

'Body Politic' is a chilling mystery story set in a world of high politics and low crime. It is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Robinson.
