Field of Lies - The second in the 'Of Lies' series
Amazon 5 star reviewer Steph Lawrence says: I am very late to discover this brilliant author. This is the second one in the Doug Taylor series. Suspenseful and perfectly paced, easy to read and very exciting. I can't recommend him enough.

Field of Lies - Summary:
Suicide seems the obvious cause of a local man’s death, but Detective Constable Geoff Deakin is not so sure. He locks horns over the issue with his boss, career obsessed Detective Inspector Robin Preston and soon finds himself battling to hold onto his detective’s badge. Puzzling links are uncovered to an age old secret and to a missing girl. Deakin is taken out of the game before he uncovers a fraction of the dreadful facts. Deakin’s friend and former boss, DI Doug Taylor, in his usual impetuous form, bulldozes straight in, eager to unravel a growing mystery and an awful tragedy. His hot-headed actions soon land him in very deep water. A planned romantic winter break with girlfriend WDC Kim Harding is turned into an illegal search for answers. The truth lies much deeper than anyone could have imagined and is far more sickening than the worst nightmare could ever conjure. Humorous episodes take place when power crazed senior officers put their ego in front of common sense and good police work. Rookie police constable, Sid Beddows just wants to be a copper, but his efforts to solve a minor crime upset the apple cart of the top brass completely. When his secret skills are discovered he gets to become a major player in crimes of international importance. Horrendous characters sneak from the woodwork as the story unfolds and get to play their part in a twisted tale of greed, ego, violence, sex and murder.
