Description
Whitethroat is the third novel in the DI Nick Lowry series by James Henry. In November 1983, Essex is experiencing reasons to be cheerful, with popular music and films dominating the headlines. However, beneath the surface, social tensions are rising, including the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland. A deadly standoff in a small town takes center stage when the body of a young Lance Corporal is discovered on the local High Street. The circumstances surrounding his death appear to be linked to an army love triangle, but the military police want to keep the matter within their ranks. As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that the case will require collaboration between civilian and military forces. The trail leads CID through a rogues' gallery of suspects, including a savvy entrepreneur, a wayward skinhead, a member of the landed gentry, and a shadowy travel agent with a chilling reputation. The key to solving the killing may lie in an unexpected location - the town's Robin Hood pub.
