“Lashings of Bond-style derring-do” propel this explosive mystery starring the husband-wife team of investigators last seen in Cobweb (Kirkus Reviews).
 
Patrick Gillard and Ingrid Langley, formerly of MI5 and now working as consultants for SOCA (the Serious and Organized Crime Agency), are called in to investigate when a policeman’s horribly mutilated body is found with the initials R.K. carved on his torso. At the same time, DCI James Carrick asks them to make enquiries on a private matter: he has discovered that his father, Robert Kennedy, whom he thought long dead, is not only alive, but a criminal. Suddenly, there may be a connection between the two cases . . .

      In British author Duffy's 12th mystery to feature husband-wife team Ingrid Langley and Patrick Gillard (after 2007's Cobweb
      ), the former MI5 agents now working for SOCA (the Serious and Organized Crime Agency) go in search of criminal Robert Kennedy, presumed long dead but apparently alive and, more disturbing, possibly connected to a series of ghastly gangland-style killings in which the initials “RK” are cut into the victims' bodies. As they get on the trail of the elusive Kennedy and a ruthless gang, Langley and Gillard begin to wonder if Kennedy himself might be a target. Duffy injects this crisp if sometimes too chatty police procedural with some great action scenes, including a wild horse ride for the newly pregnant Langley as she tries to evade her would-be killers. The author also nicely sets up the next installment with Gillard's sudden realization that maybe SOCA's not the only job he could pursue.
