Although Brodie has made some surprising---and dangerous---discoveries while working as a modern-day treasure hunter, none of them has turned her life upside down in quite the way that her unexpected pregnancy does.The timing is particularly awkward because Brodie has recently separated from her partner, the prickly Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon. To complicate matters further, Detective Inspector Alix Hyde has set her sights on Deacon while simultaneously trailing a mysterious criminal---and one-time friend of Deacon's---Terry Walsh, who has a habit of springing surprises of his own.As ever, Brodie's best friend, Daniel Hood, will do anything to help her---even taking a leave from his beloved teaching job so that he can look after her business while she takes care of the baby. But soon Daniel is preoccupied with the well-being of young Noah Selkirk, who seems to be collecting more bruises than is reasonable even for a twelve-year-old boy, and is strangely linked to the Walsh case as well. . . .As their entanglements weave together in complex patterns, all of the parties have to face the consequences of their own mistakes. But it's the flaws that make all of us human---and perhaps that ultimately make us stronger.

Flesh and Blood
by John Harvey"Retirement has not come easy for Detective Inspector Frank Elder. He's fled west, into a solitary existence on the Cornish coast, but he can't escape the past. He continues to be troubled by his wife's betrayal, he worries over their teenage daughter, he's haunted by bad dreams that lead him to the body of a sixteen-year-old girl." "Susan Blacklock would be thirty now. But fourteen years ago she disappeared, and for fourteen years the case of the missing schoolgirl with a flair for drama has gone unsolved. Not that Elder hadn't had his suspects. In fact, he'd seen the two of them - Shane Donald and Alan McKeirnan - convicted a year later for the brutal rape and murder of another young, pretty girl whose body had been buried in a sandy grave. And now, with Shane granted an early release from prison, Elder feels compelled to return to the seaside scenes of the crime." "Shane does not feel comfortable at the halfway house. Abused by his father, by two older brothers, by Alan McKeirnan, Shane has been bred to distrust authority, so when he's threatened at knifepoint by a fellow resident at the hostel he breaks parole: He bolts. Shortly thereafter, on an outing with two friends from school, pretty Emma Harrison goes missing. Her body is found in a shallow, sandy grave." "As Elder knows Shane's history, the fiftyish ex-policeman becomes crucial to the official investigation into the disquieting case. Unwittingly, he is also vital to its perpetration. For with cryptic messages on seaside postcards and a few purposefully planted clues, in a plot as deftly woven as it is suspensefully executed, the killer is drawing Elder inexorably into the very heart of the criminal matter. Elder's daughter is already there." Beyond detective work, beyond an aging man salvaging what he can from his broken home, beyond suspense, beyond human, believable characterization of law enforcers, suspects, criminals and bystanders, this novel poses the question, "Is it advisable to persist until the whole truth is known?"
