Prospect of Death

Margaret Duffy


Police inspectors who drink and drive usually forfeit their jobs. That is why Chief Inspector James Carrick cannot understand why he would have driven away from his hotel after the Burns Night Supper. To save his job and his sanity, he turns to his lover -- private detective Joanna Mackenzie -- and chance acquaintance Patrick Gillard to help him find out what really happened that night. Before his investigation is over, Carrick will not only discover the true events of that evening, but solve two murders and identify members of a police corruption ring.
