Description - A Taste Of Ashes by Tony Black
Following the harrowing case that nearly finished him off, DI Bob Valentine returns to normal duties in the heart of Burns Country on Scotland's wind-scarred west coast. But all is not well in the town of Ayr, a place ravaged by austerity and slipping closer to the abyss every day. As the near eviscerated corpse of a man is discovered on his kitchen table, fear grips the area and a murder investigation, probing a series of new lows for the town, gets underway. To add to Valentine's woes, the victim's partner is missing — as is her daughter. When a son with a violent past is added to the mix, and the crime tally mounts, a tragic family drama starts to unfold. Drawn to uncover the truth, and haunted by his own nagging doubts about the case, Valentine pushes himself ever harder, stretching his own fragile health and delicate home life. Amidst a frenzied media storm, and against a ticking clock, the investigator must work fast to piece together the illicit secrets of the family's past. Can he keep a grip on the case and on his own sanity before the body count starts to rise?
