After the Weeping — David Mark

DI McAvoy must find the connection between a British family, a self-proclaimed Romanian king and an Irish crime boss before he loses the thread and possibly his life in this new instalment of David Mark's acclaimed gritty police procedural series.The unsolved and brutal murder of beloved son, husband and local fight coach Davey Hawksmoor left Hull in a state of shock, and after ten years of mourning DI Aector McAvoy is ordered to reopen the cold case by his boss and close friend DCS Trish Pharaoh.McAvoy isn’t sure why this case has been brought up again – after all, the previous detective’s efforts might have been hasty, but they were fairly thorough. With no new leads to pursue, and Pharaoh avoiding him, he’s sceptical about the whole situation and his role within it.Pharaoh seems to have her sights on bigger fish, seemingly linked to Davey’s family and especially his father Rab, a highly regarded entrepreneur and charity man – and a man who won’t shy away from dirty work to achieve his version of the greater good . . .Fans of Val McDermid, Ian Rankin, Denise Mina and Peter Robinson will find DI McAvoy “a true original” (Mick Herron). Another dark and complex case from Sunday Times bestselling and Kindle chart-topping author David Mark.
