Picture of Innocence — Bill Kitson

While visiting Madrid on a stag weekend, DI Mike Nash foils an attack on a young Spanish landscape painter. He returns home, puzzled by the fact there seems to be no motive behind the assault â€" unless it is connected to the recent murder of the girl's father. After surviving two further attempts on her life the artist flees to England where she seeks shelter with Nash. As he attempts to uncover the truth behind the attacks and her mysterious past, Nash confronts a web of evil that is more potent now than in previous years â€" and as he unravels the mystery he is faced with a crime more sinister and horrifying than he has ever encountered before.
