About the book - Sample .. .
Another man? A brainstorm? A victim of vengeance? Detective Chief Inspector John McLcish deploys his team — the equable Scottish detective, Bruce Davidson, and Catherine Crane, the most beautiful sergeant the Met has ever employed — and enters the choppy waters of Whitehall. Angela, the missing girl, was a high-flying lobbyist and partner in a firm helping companies to influence government and legislation - a world much more familiar to McLeish's lover, the mercurial Francesca Wilson, a fast-rising star in the Department of Trade and Industry.
A substantial legacy from an ex-boss, passionately disputed by his niece, and from which Angela's sister also stands to inherit, complicates the delicate investigation.
Delicate complications also occur in McLeish's private life as the beguiling Sergeant Crane becomes more and more important to the enquiry — and to the hard-pressed policeman.
In 1988, Janet Neet won the coveted John Creasey Award of the Crime Writers' Association with her highly praised first novel, Death's bright angel. In this, her third book, she shows that her much-heralded early promise is abundantly fulfilled. Death of a partner is a crime novel of a high order.
