This
is the eighth crime novel featuring detective Simon Serrailler.
In
this book, Simon is asked to go undercover to help break a pedophile ring. To
follow one particular suspect, Will Fernley, he has to pose as a sex offender
and be admitted to a special prison. There he will undergo rigorous therapy
with the real offenders. Any crack in his cover could
expose him to great danger.
Meanwhile,
there are complications in the lives of Simon’s family and friends, who are not
allowed to know where he is, or to have any means of contact. His girlfriend,
Rachel, is unsure of his commitment to her. His sister Cat and his stepmother
Judith also have their problems. Worst of all, his father is accused of rape.
Some
readers may be put off by the subject matter, but this is dealt with
sensitively and without undue horrific detail. The interwoven stories of the
other characters are equally compelling. Not having read any of the previous
books, I now want to read some of them to learn more about their lives and
relationships. And, of course I look forward to another book to find out what
will happen next!
