Violent Ends - Neil Broadfoot

Having the wrong client can be murder...The voice was smooth, cultured, almost tender as it oozed from the phone into Connor Fraser''s ear. "I''ve heard about you, Mr Fraser, and I''m very impressed by your work. So I''ve decided to employ you. I am going to kill Father John Donnelly sometime in the next seven days. And you are going to stop me - or die trying. "The thought it''s a sick joke lasts for as long as it takes Connor to find that £70,000 has been deposited into his PayPal account, and for him to receive an email with a picture of his grandmother. With no choice but to make a deal with the devil, Connor races to unmask a killer before he strikes and uncovers a mystery that stretches back decades, threatening the people closest to him.Praise for Violent Ends''Line of duty meets Backdraft'' -- Bloody Scotland, listed asone of Bloody Scotland''s 12 Books of Christmas''A heart-pounding thriller that''s also a brilliantly twisty mystery that keeps you guessing to the last page'' Derek Farrell Praise for Neil Broadfoot: ''Tense, fast-moving and bloody.
