SURVIVING ANGEL

Jim Bible: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Thirteen years after WW2 some secrets refuse to stay buried.

When Acting Chief Inspector Bible is called to a local murder and a child on the run in Yorkshire, he doesn’t expect it to lead to a series of nationwide killings, the murder of an old farm worker 14 years earlier, and Britain’s darkest secret of the Second World War.

But Bible is going through a bad time. His wife is drifting away from him. His old sidekick blames Bible for his lack of promotion. And his son is angry about National Service.

Bible has to find himself. And when his son is arrested for murder at his barracks, Bible discovers what he stands for.
