Nightrise by Jim Kelly
Phillip Dryden series Book #6
3â˜�'²õ
Journalist Philip Dryden is shocked to be informed by police that his father has been killed in a car accident � he drowned during the fenland floods of 1977, 35 years before. At the same time, two unrelated cases are demanding Dryden’s professional attention: a body riddled with bullets found hanging in the middle of a lettuce field, and a couple protesting that the local council has buried their baby daughter in a pauper’s grave without permission. As Dryden pieces the clues together, he realizes that the three cases may be related after all. I found the book to be rather "dry" compared to the first five books in this series. It was almost as if there were too many plots that the author was trying to connect. I did find the mystery of Phillip's father very intriguing. Too bad that the story wasn't build entirely around that link.
