ROGUE FLAMINGO The Mevagissey murders
A disturbing psychological crime thriller with a twist in the tail
A lawyer’s body is found on the beach in a small Cornish village, staked out with a tarred bag over its head, just as the summer season begins. When a second body is found bizarrely fixed to the floor of a nearby building soon afterwards, the laconic police surgeon remarks ‘Well, psychopaths need holidays too’.
Detective Inspector Treloar, a rebel to some, but a dauntless investigator to many officers including the Chief Constable, takes charge. DI Treloar and partner Sergeant Samantha Scott are to most colleagues the top team in the county. But when more bodies are found, in flagrante, Treloar is at first unsure - accident or murder?
There seems no connection between the victims whose murders are increasingly violent and sexual. What is happening? Rogue serial killer or psychologically self-justifying vigilante? Deranged visitor or embittered local? Why? Who next?
And who is the strong-minded female, locked away as a child in the south of France, who reflects on her past as the story unfolds?
Then a brutal attack on one of their own shocks Treloar’s team. Focus switches and a long-held grievance based on a heartfelt, perceived injustice surfaces. But deception is rife, will they uncover the truth?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT ROGUE FLAMINGO AND THE DI TRELOAR SERIES
Great Storyline and a very enjoyable read – Nick, UK
Took me a few pages to get into it but after that it was a 'can't put it down' experience. Racy in places but that only added to the interest! A recommended read!
Four Stars – J M Tennick, UK
Really good read. Found it difficult to put down once I'd got into it. Good beach/holiday book.
LOVE THIS SERIES – klevergirl, USA, after reading Silent Gull, no. 3 in series
I have read all of this series so far and found each enjoyable. The main characters are fully fleshed out and I found them easy to like. The storylines are good and I am eagerly awaiting the next one.
