The Nightwalker: An Eric Ward Mystery (Eric Ward Mysteries)

When Eric Ward agrees to represent the interests of a protest group campaigning against a local industrial waste-disposal site, he cannot anticipate that his involvement will land him directly in the firing line once more. An explosion at the plant leaves one of his clients dead. Joe Paulson wasn't a criminal exactly - but his after-hours activities raiding the dustbins of the great and good, meant he was despised by many for the secrets he held in his grasp. While the police struggle to separate the facts from the rumors circulating down on the seedier side of town, Ward's marriage slowly unravels before his eyes as the past continues to dog his footsteps. And when an old favor is called in, he may have no choice but to put his own life in danger. An emotionally tense thriller from a master of investigative crime, The Nightwalker is the latest in Roy Lewis' popular Eric Ward series.
