The fifth book in Lynda's brilliant Detective Jack Warr crime series.
Detective Jack Warr is haunted by the gruesome legacy of serial killer Rodney Middleton and reeling from a series of events that have left him deep in depression. Refusing the Met-offered counselling service, Jack finds solace instead through renewing a dangerous friendship with the artist and master forger, Adam Bolder.
When a body is discovered nailed to a giant cross in a framer's shop, Jack feels a connection to the case even though it is not in his jurisdiction. But is his involvement that of a detective or witness?
Crucified by Lynda La Plante explores these gripping themes, taking readers on an intense journey into the mind of a troubled detective.
