Publisher's Summary
When 14-year-old Zoe Johnson doesn't come home on a Monday night in early December, the alarm bells in Kings Lake Central police station do not ring straight away - after all, she's from the Dockmills, one of the toughest estates in the town.
But for Detective Sergeant DC Smith, due to retire in just three weeks' time, there are some strange echoes of the case that has haunted him for the past 13 years. Maybe it's simply his over-developed sense of irony, or maybe, in his final days as a police officer, Smith must look once more into the eyes of a serial killer.

I know Smith survived but it still brought a tear to my eye.
I will read the Truth.

Excellent again.
The plot, character development and narration were all superb. Peter Grainger is my got to for British police procedurals. He is in a class of his own.

DCSmith struggles with his inner voice
The ending did not suit dcsmith's experience & logic, but everyone makes mistakes. A good message for anyone facing retirement. Extremely entertaining series. i loved it!

A private Investigatio by Peter Grainger
Read by Gildart Jackson.
This has been an excellent book series.
This particular one has been the very best of the series for me.
The dedication of the men and women in The police force is just amazing. The psychology in the working process of a fine detective can't be ignored. Todays police forces throughout the land have to be sharp and well educated. While university plays a huge part in todays world of policing there is like in many other things a real need for expeirience.
loved this book.

Hooked on This Series!
I never read detective stories, because I don't enjoy reading blood and gore, but Peter Grainger can tell a great story without resorting to gratuitous violence. Once I read one of this series, I couldn't wait to read more. I became so attached to DC Smith, that he almost felt like a friend! The author also has a wry sense of humour which he intersperses along the way, making the whole book entertaining. Well worth a listen!

Very well written and narrated.
A good story witha a good twist at the end. If you have read the rest of the series in order you cannot fail to be moved by it. Sentimental in places but never mawkish. Grainger obviously knows this world from the inside,, if he goes a little overboard on the procedurals in places , for me it added to the charm.

Another Peter Granger wonder
Brilliant story left me speechless and frantically searching the library for the next one. A very wry sense of humour always good in a mystery. Listening to the next one now!
