‘Solid, straightforward detection mingled with family mayhem.’KIRKUS REVIEWS ON A THRUST TO THE VITALSSir Rufus Seward, returning to his home town of Elmhurst many years after his involuntary departure, to attend a civic reception in his honour, had ignored the maxim that 'going back' is not always wise.Especially when so many people had long memories. Especially when the same people still hated him. Found murdered after the reception, it is clear from DI Joe Rafferty’s questioning of the guests, that one of them had decided it was time to settle old scores.And, judging from the phone call he had received at the scene, his younger brother was numbered among them.Rafferty, aware that his brother had plenty of reasons to loath Seward, finds himself torn between protecting his brother and finding the killer.Books in the Rafferty & Llewellyn British Mystery seriesDead Before Morning #1Down Among the Dead Men #2Death Line #3The Hanging Tree #4Absolute Poison #5Dying For You #6Bad Blood #7Love Lies Bleeding #8Blood on the Bones #9A Thrust to the Vitals #10Death Dues #11All the Lonely People #12Death Dance #13Deadly Reunion #14Kith and Kill #15Asking For It #16The Spanish Connection #17Game of Bones #18
