The Cinder Path

The Cinder Path Detective sergeant Sue Palmer is first on the scene when ethical businessman Kurt Bleuwen is murdered by a crossbow bolt through the heart. Bleuwen had just begun life with his new fiancee, political campaigner, Tina Hiller. Bleuwen was a quiet man with no known enemies... but what kind of past could cause such a bloody death? And where has his killer gone? When Di Hogarth arrives the hunt is on. This manhunt will stretch Hogarth to the very limit of his abilities - during the very worst time of his life. The ambitions and desires of those who knew Kurt Bleuwen best stay hidden. But not for much longer. Secrets past and present will be exposed. Hogarth’s main suspect is Bheka Khumalo – the man who helped Kurt Bleuwen found a social enterprise back in the nineties when the new South Africa was just being born. The search becomes a race against time before the killer flees the country. But there are other serious problems for Hogarth to contend with. DC Simmons is playing games set to tear the team apart. And DI Hogarth receives a phone call which will change everything - a call which could well lead to his own demise. With the pressure on Hogarth must crack the Khumalo case before it cracks him first. DI Hogarth and his team must track down a killer while Hogarth faces up to the worst of his demons.
