First off, this book has two mysteries that Jack Warr needs to figure out with one being an arson and murder in the Rose cottage that is possibly linked to an old train robbery in the 80's. The second is that Jack learns that his adoptive father is dying from cancer and is given all of the info to his birth parents. At first, Jack really wants to know nothing about them as he is happy with his parents until curiosity gets the best of him. He is an unmotivated Police Detective and finally finds the fire that drives him to become a passionate detective and really good at his job between the two cases. What little did Jack know was how these two mysteries would eventually find themselves intertwined with each other. I loved how this book kept you guessing at every turn between the two mysteries that Jack had now put so much dedication into. I was so intrigued in this book all the way to the end with even twists at the end of the story that I wasn't expecting. I love a good crime thriller that doesn't have that expected ending and surprises you still. I definitely can't wait to read more of Lynda La Plante books!
