Written in Blood

Read Written in Blood Storyline:

DI Tom Mariner's home life is beginning to look more and more settled.
There's talk of a move to the country, even kids. Mostly, of course,
it's Anna doing the talking, and for once Mariner isn't running for the
hills at the thought of commitment. But the quiet holiday season is
shattered when, on the day of a community carol concert, an explosion
rocks the centre of Birmingham. Running behind schedule, Tom and Anna
are caught up in the aftermath of the event, but others are not so
lucky, including DS Knox and his girlfriend. However, no one knows if
the tragedy is accidental or another random act of terrorism.
Meanwhile, as friends and colleagues struggle to deal with the
after-effects of the explosion, an unexpected reunion with an old friend
thrusts Mariner into the unofficial investigation of a violent double
murder to which he is inextricably linked. Mariner enters a world of
corruption where the boundaries of justice are blurred, making it
impossible to distinguish between friend and foe
