Broken Ground

Cold Case Detective Karen Pirie is back in another page turner involving multiple cases she and her team are investigating. Detective Pirie is facing one difficult challenge after another. Good news ... she's been given an extra 'body' to help with her investigations. Bad news ... The new help is a spy given the post in order to report to the supervisor who wants Pirie gone. Pirie and her team are looking into a sex crime committed many years ago. Just now receiving some additional information, they are on a search for a car the night the crime took place. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Something a bit more interesting for them is the finding of a body buried in a peat bog along with two brand new motorcycles that were buried at the end of World War II. The men who did the burying are long dead and when one's grand-daughter uncovers this, they are more than surprised to find a buried body along the the motorcycles. Only this man did not die in the 40's ... he's wearing Nike shoes and a bullet between the eyes. As if this isn't enough for her three-person squad, she becomes involved in a double murder. It's non-stop action from beginning to end ... lots of travel, lots of door-knocking .. lots of suspects ... and lots of resistance from her fellow police.
