Blowback

A promise to a dying man. A twenty-year-old murder. The fifth book in Peter May's gripping Enzo Files series.

A man's skeleton is recovered from a windswept lake on the coast of south-west France. The death is assumed to be an accidental drowning. But forensics show the man died from a bullet wound.

Twenty years ago, a killer was caught, but the victim's body was never found.

Now, forensics expert Enzo Macleod is in south-west France, using the latest technology to re-examine the case. It's a case that has long haunted France's top-secret national forensic science facility. But it's also a case that Enzo's employers want him to leave well alone.
