In Knives We Trust

Inspector Rumsey Bucke, a still-grieving widower, must find Daniel Guy who has tried and failed to murder his wife. He tracks him through the streets of Swansea’s poorest communities with little help from an incompetent police force. Two fatal stabbings, initially unsolved, put Bucke’s position under threat from a corrupt superior. However, he finds the will and the support to change his life from an unlikely source, the wife of a prime murder suspect. As he begins to calm his own sorrows, he learns that terrible tragedies lurk beneath the surface of the ordinary lives around him. No one can ever escape from the secret burdens they carry with them. But there are unknown figures lurking in the shadows and the Inspector methodically uncovers a sinister assassination plot. Bucke finds himself drawn into the dangerous world of international conflict, with secret agents playing out a clandestine war on the streets of the town, ready to kill the innocent to ensure their success. Soon Bucke must answer his own questions. Who is the murderer? Is it Daniel Guy? Or is there someone else? How many murderers are there? There is a bigger question for him too. If, as they say, justice is blind are there occasions when the law should be blind too?
