TERROR TOWER a gripping British murder mystery novel

Book 5: Trevor Lowe

by Gerald Verner

Genres: Mystery

Synopsis

Worryingly for Scotland Yard, four officers disappear whilst on duty.

One vanishes chasing a forger. Then two officers disappear searching for a wanted jewel thief in Hythe. Finally, a fourth officer vanishes in Hythe, after being sent to the nearby village of Stonehurst.

Criminologist Trevor Lowe investigates a lead: someone has telephoned to arrange a meeting at the crossroads between the two villages. Lowe keeps the rendezvous but finds the man has been silenced — shot dead in a ditch . . .

This twisty, edge-of-the-seat thriller will see the strong arm of London’s police force picked off one by one in a whodunit that unravels with all the pace and intrigue of Line of Duty.
