It's been five months since a killer walked free and DCI Ryan is preparing to leave Newcastle to hunt him down - this time, for good. But Ryan's plans are scuppered when events take a dramatic turn and he is forced to stay and face his past one last time, or watch a friend suffer the consequences. Amid the chaos, another killer is preparing to strike. When the Tyne Bridge explodes, Ryan's team are faced with a frantic race to uncover a deadly foe who won't stop until every bridge is burned, along with everybody on it... Murder and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced crime whodunit set amidst the spectacular Northumbrian landscape.

Thoughts

The latest in the DCI Ryan books and there were two distinct parts to this - one was the big bad crime, a slightly terrifying terrorist attack on those famous northern bridges. That was edge-of-your-seat stuff at times, and I quite enjoyed it. And then there was the death of the big bad boss, and that was hugely intriguing, as it was obvious that the one saying they did it wasn’t the actual culprit. So, overall, I really liked this book, and keen to move on to the next one!
