Hidden River (Five Star Paperback)
by Adrian McKinty
Denver, Colorado: a pretty, clever young girl working for an
environmental charity, Victoria Patawasti is sleeping peacefully,
unaware that she has barely an hour to live. As her killer slips into
her apartment and draws a revolver in the darkness, Alex Lawson wakes up
in Belfast. Twenty-four, sickly, and struggling to kick his heroin
habit after a disastrous six-month stint in the drug squad of the
Northern Ireland police force, Alex badly needs a chance to get back on
track. Victoria was his high school love, and when he finds out she has
been murdered, he volunteers to help Victoria?s family hunt down the
killer. But once in Colorado, Alex has a fight on his hands: wanted by
both the Colorado cops and the Ulster police, and uncovering corruption
at the highest levels of government, he can solve the case only if he
manages to stay alive.
