Shadow Line

On Thursday night, a plane crash lands on a routine flight from France to Southampton. Miraculously, there are no fatalities, but who is the man in the Panama hat risking his life to save all on board and who is the mystery eighty-third passenger? On Friday morning, an insurance broker walks into his office with an automatic weapon and opens fire on his colleagues before turning the gun on himself. What motivated him to take such drastic measures and where did he get the weapon? On Saturday morning, a young student walks into the West Quay shopping centre with a bomb vest strapped to his chest. He takes control of the complex and begins to preach from the Qur?an. Why is he bringing his terrorist act to Southampton and why did he choose today? D. I. Jack Vincent is leading the investigations and doesn?t need the interfering antics of Security Services Agent Lauren Smart. With three seemingly unrelated cases occupying his time, this really will be the toughest week of Jack Vincent?s life. Murder, conspiracy, bombs and a mysterious face from the past make for an edge-of-your-seat thriller from bestselling author Stephen Edger.
