Synopsis
All it took was one small item on the regional news for Kimberly Guyver and Rachel Golinski to know that their old life was catching up with them. They wondered how they'd been naive enough to think it wouldn't. They hoped they still had a chance to leave it behind - just one more time - but within hours, Rachel's home is burning and Kimberly's young son, Riley, is missing. DC Goodhew begins to sift through their lives, and starts to uncover an unsettling picture of deceit, murder and accelerating danger. Kimberly seems distraught but also defensive and uncooperative. Is it fear and mistrust of the police which are putting her son at risk, or darker motivations? With Riley's life in peril, Goodhew needs Kimberly to make choices, but she has to understand, the one thing she cannot afford is another mistake. Praise for "Cambridge Blue": "You are pulled relentlessly in as Bruce racks up the tension. Menacing and insidious, this is a great novel". (R.J. Ellory). "An exciting debut from a very promising new talent". (Paul Johnston). "A fast-paced gritty tale guaranteed to have you hooked from beginning to end". ("Cambridgeshire Pride"). "Meaty and deeply plotted". ("Morning Star"). "DC Gary Goodhew could just develop into a worthy successor to those venerables of the police procedural now drawing their pensions". ("Tribune"). "A gripping tale of murder and mystery". ("Cambridge Style").

About the Author
Alison Bruce is a scriptwriter and author of two non-fiction crime books. She was born in Surrey but moved to Cambridge in 1998. She is married with two small children and enjoys horse riding and dancing, when not working on her new crime fiction series featuring D C Gary Goodhew. This is the second DC Goodhew novel.
From Publishers Weekly
Cambridge Det. Constable Gary Goodhew runs into a crisis while off-duty in Bruce's solid sequel to 2009's Cambridge Blue. In the midst of a pub crawl with a mate, Goodhew smells fire and rushes to the scene, only to find the flames too intense to allow him to enter the burning house where Kimberly Guyver's two-year-old son, Riley, is believed trapped, along with Rachel Golinski, the friend the boy's mother left in charge of him. While the authorities soon discover Golinski's corpse among the building's charred wreckage, Bruce lets the reader know that Riley is being held captive. The plot has the requisite twists and stock situations, notably a dark secret Guyver and Golinski share that's somehow connected to the disappearance of a man whose corpse turns up in Spain at the book's outset, but Bruce's superior prose elevates this above many other contemporary British police procedurals.
