BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Turn a Blind Eye is the third installment in the gripping story of Detective Inspector William Warwick, by the master storyteller and #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Clifton Chronicles.
Newly promoted to Detective Inspector, William Warwick is tasked with a dangerous new line of work, to go undercover and expose crime of another kind: corruption at the heart of the Metropolitan Police Force. Along with detectives Rebecca Pankhurst and Nicky Bailey, his team is focused on following Detective Jerry Summers, a young officer whose lifestyle exceeds his income. But the investigation risks being compromised when Nicky falls for Summers.
Meanwhile, notorious drug baron Ahmed Rashidi goes on trial, defended by Booth Watson QC, while William’s father Sir Julian and sister Grace lead the prosecution case. And William’s wife Beth, now a new mother to twins, makes a surprising new friend in Christina Faulkner–the ex-wife of William’s former rival, criminal financier Miles – who has not only turned over a new leaf, but also has a new-found source of income when Faulkner dies suddenly of a heart attack and she stands to be sole inheritor of his estate.
As the undercover officers start to draw the threads together, William realizes that the corruption may go deeper still, and more of his colleagues than he first thought might be willing to turn a blind eye.
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts This is the third in the series but we have known these characters from other stories so it is like catching up with friends. In this one we are at the trial of Rashidi.
What I enjoyed about this is the trial part. Some of it got a bit wordy but the trials in England are so different than the trials in the USA. And it is kind of interesting thinking “they can do that there?” or “we could do that here.”
I like DI Warwick. And this time he has to investigate his own. No, he is not a police officer but they are all in the line of work to bring justice and now he has to investigate a young officer who just may be in more than he should be involved in.
Another good story by Jeffrey Archer.
