No Kiss for the Devil — Adrian Magson

A young woman's body is found dumped in the Essex countryside. Ex-military policeman PI Frank Palmer is accustomed to death, but this is different. The body is his former girlfriend. He knows only one way to deal with this disturbing and brutal murder; find the killers. Meanwhile, his colleague, Investigative reporter Riley Gavin is doing a profile of controversial businessman `Kim' Al-Bashir. She soon realizes that there are sinister forces working against him, and if she doesn't tread carefully she could end up losing her assignment. And, quite probably her life.

"Magson has a talent for relationships. . . Won't be easily forgotten and mark this latest addition to the series as a keeper-gritty, darkly funny and as current as tomorrow's news."
