Six Years Too Late

Always the same questions
for Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook — Why was Marcus Matthews in
that room? And why did he share a bottle of wine with his killer?

It wasn’t as if the man had amounted to much in life, apart from the
fact that he was the son-in-law of a notorious gangster, the father of
the man’s grandchildren.

Yet, one thing that Hamish McIntyre,
feared in London for his violence, rated above anything else, it was his
family, especially Samantha, his daughter; although he had never cared
for Marcus, her husband.

And then Marcus disappears, only for
his body to be found six years later by a couple of young boys who
decide that exploring an abandoned house is preferable to school.
