Description
Harriet Martens, named ‘the Hard Detective’ by the media because of her unrelenting opposition to every sort of wrong-doing, has been secretly summoned to London to investigate corruption in the country’s most prestigious crime-fighting team, the élite Maximum Crimes Squad.
Not only is she opposed at every turn by the head of the Squad, but she is menaced by mysterious figures from its current target, the worldwide Colombian network.
Then, as she begins to get nearer to the truth, she comes under attack from the press…
The Inspector of Constabulary who has brought Harriet to London believes that she is enough of an élite figure herself to withstand all the fire. But is she?
Can Harriet survive the onslaught as a Detective Under Fire?
Or will she give in to the torrent of abuse and threats encircling her?
‘A Detective Under Fire’ is a gripping crime thriller from master of the genre H. R. F. Keating
