The Watcher

Lieutenant Jonathan Stride has never forgotten the case that made him decide to join the police force. Back in the 1970s, Laura -- sister of Stride's girlfriend -- was murdered. The obvious suspect was a vagrant, who slipped through the hands of the police, including Stride's detective hero Roy. Now, though, Stride's looking at the case in a new light. Tish Verdure, an old friend of Laura's, has come home, and she's certain that the killer was a local boy, now an attorney with connections at the highest level. Stride's soon convinced that there was a deliberate decision to direct the investigation towards a simple solution and away from Tish's suggested perpetrator, but he's also sure that Tish is hiding a secret about the past. A secret that could have shattering consequences -- including a second murder.

  • "One murder has haunted Lieutenant Jonathan Stride for thirty years. In 1977 his girlfriend's sister was savagely beaten to death. Stride came face to face with the suspect - and let the man escape. And when writer Tish Verdure begins a book about the murder, he's reluctant to re-open the case. But Tish has new evidence that raises questions about the actions of the police ... and even Stride's own wife. Then Tish receives threats, and a teenage girl is hounded to her death. Stride investigates a voyeur who may hold the key to two brutal crimes. Then as he finds himself in a devastating confrontation high above the deadly waters of Lake Superior, he and Tish must face their worst fears - and the truth about the past."
