Damaged Souls: A Detective Inspector White Caper (D.I. White Mysteries)

A day of reckoning—both personal and professional—is at hand for Detective Inspector Stewart White in the third installment of the D.I. White Mysteries.

While White’s team closes in on an elusive heroin smuggling operation, a prominent television executive reports that her twin teenage daughters have been abducted. The high-profile case is assigned to White, who must now divide his attention between the kidnapping and the heroin sting operation.

That leaves little time to console his one-time lover, Connie Cleghorn, when she returns to the UK to take her mentally ill brother back to Florida for treatment. In stark contrast, his father is diving deeper into a heady love affair of his own—forcing White to consider whether his inability to maintain a lasting relationship is due to his job or to his own shortcomings.

The two cases—and relationships—threaten to spiral out of control towards conclusions that are sure to surprise.

“Detective Inspector Stewart White is an awesome character, portrayed three-dimensionally. A brilliant series to read again. Highly recommended.” — My Train of Thoughts On... Book Review Blog
