Synopsis: MARKED FOR MURDER Detective Inspector Frank Shapiro and his two chief investigators, Liz Graham and Cal Donovan, probe a mysterious conspiracy, which may rob Castlemere of more than one of their finest. A young prostitute is found dead on a boat in the Castlemere Canal and the detective trio quickly determines she was pushed from a hotel window during an international business convention, then disposed of in the canal. Adding to the puzzle, there's a hired killer on the loose, making target practice of farm animals--before taking aim at the real mark, the hotel's convention organizer. But the hit misses--and Shapiro takes the bullet. Now it's up to a shaken Graham and Donovan to sort out a complex crime that will lead to another fatal confrontation in the lonely English countryside, one that may strike another tragic blow to the ranks of Castlemere's police force. Read all seven books comprising the Castlemere series about the realistic, dangerous, frustrating and occasionally rewarding work of police investigators in a small town in England. look for #1 A Bleeding of Innocence, #2 Charisma, #3 A Taste for Burning, #4 No Birds Sing, #5 Broken Lines and #7 Changelings.
