About the book:-
DI Kate Young’s team is hunting for a killer. What they don’t know…is that the killer is her.
DI Kate Young has known for years that her boss, Superintendent John Dickson, is a violent and evil man. But when she finally confronts him and accidentally shoots and kills him, she’s forced to cover her tracks before anyone can pin his death on her. With revelations about his corruption soon to become public knowledge, Kate sets up a trail of evidence to make it seem that Dickson has conveniently vanished…
But Kate knows the corruption doesn’t end with Dickson. As she heads up the team investigating his supposed disappearance, she also pursues other loose ends. Stanka, the sex worker who supplied the evidence against Dickson, leads her to crucial information on another corrupt officer, DI Harriet Khatri, and her dubious involvement with sex traffickers.
As the noose starts to tighten on Kate, she finds herself targeted by traffickers, the bent cops on her force and even her own team of detectives. Can she stay one step ahead of them all and bring Harriet to justice? Can she trust anyone around her? And can she possibly get away with murder?
My Review:-
It never ceases to amaze me that Carol Wyer can go from writing comedy to writing the darkest of books and A Truth for a Truth is, in my opinion, her darkest to date. Can Kate be saved? She has finally killed her nemesis, John Dickson, but will she get away with it and more importantly can she live with herself?
Kate is in charge of finding John Dickson when of course she knows that he is dead and well and truly buried. In addition to her stress trying to make sure she has covered anything that could possibly lead back to her, she is picking her way through a minefield, not knowing who to trust, who has her back and who would like to see her gone. She is also trying to save the life of the sex worker, Stanka, whilst bringing the people traffickers who brought her to the UK to justice. It’s hardly surprising that Kate hears voices in her head, mainly Dickson’s, mocking and undermining her at every turn.
I could not see how Carol Wyer was going to beat the cliff hanger that finished A Life for a Life but trust me, she succeeded.
