Perfectly Dead (Jacobson & Kerr)

Chief Inspector Jacobson hates drug-related cases. Not least because it means he has to work with the drug squad. But there's no alternative when a local dealer turns up burnt, battered, and dead. Just another hopeless, pointless sink estate incident in the middle of a grey, Crowby February. But even so Dave Carter's torched body is the stuff of bad dreams. Death doesn't get any grimmer, Jacobson thinks. But that's because Jacobson, DS Kerr, and Crowby CID are still 48 hours away from the Perfect Family killings . . . five dead in a leafy suburb where bad things aren't supposed to happen. And the only witness may never speak again.
