It's thirty five years since the Grand Hotel in Brighton was bombed by the IRA, but Clive Grainger, a former Scotland Yard detective, now idling away his retirement in Estepona, is drawn back to his old world of detective work on the death of his good friend, Jessica. Following a professional hit, Jessica's life becomes a mystery to be solved... Jessica, a mediocre, pleasantly ordinary, retired housewife is, or rather was, he discovers, nothing of the sort. At her demise, a tangle of lies and aliases, along with MI5 and MI6 involvement, unravels, slowly dragging Grainger and his old sidekick Glynn into the deep mire of police corruption and terrorist activity. The question he must answer; who was Jessica? And is the truth of her ever-evolving story worth putting his, and possibly Debbie's, life on the line?David Spear and Debbie Glynn weave a fantastic web of intrigue, drawn from the archives of the world of espionage and terrorism. The detective/sidekick pairing of Grainger and Glynn is a refreshingly humourous take on the murky world of sleuthing via London, Brighton and Estepona.
