A woman dies in her sleep in a houseboat on the Thames; the apparent cause of death, an unflued gas heater. It all seems straightforward, but DI Kathy Kolla isn't convinced. Both Kathy and DCI Brock run up against opposition in their investigation. An aggressive new Commander seems to have a different agenda, focusing on the new realities of economic constraints, and favouring emerging technologies over the traditional policing methods.

A heart - thumping read, The Raven's Eye gives us Brock and Kolla under pressure; it's a clash between the menacing ever - present eye of computer surveillance versus the explosive threat of a man with a meat cleaver and a grudge. Contemporary, brilliant 21st - century police procedural written by an acclaimed crime writer at the top of his game.
