Blood And Honey
by Hurley, Graham
The discovery of a headless corpse on the rocks below cliffs on the Isle
of Wight is only the beginning of a journey for DI Joe Faraday to the
centre of the grim trade in human cargo from the crippled societies of
the Balkans. From cheap labour to prostitution, Portsmouth, like every
other city in the UK is home to untold human misery; a black economy
built on illegal immigration. Joe Faraday is determined to find the real
criminals that lie behind the tabloid hysteria. Detective Constable
Winter on the other hand is determinded only to find a way out of the
disciplinary action that threatens his entire career. A burgeoning
relationship with a young prostitute isn't exactly helping his cause.
Graham Hurley has written another vivid novel of all too human policeman
struggling against an overwhelming tide of crime. This is crime writing
with a vivid edge of documentary realism.
