Inspector Drake is called to the scene and quickly discovers a message left by the killer – traffic cones in the shape of a No 4. The killer starts sending the Wales Police Service lyrics from famous rock songs. Are they messages or is there some hidden meaning in them? Does it all mean more killings are likely? When a politician is killed Drake has his answer. And then the killer sends more song lyrics.

Lead Review

Set in Wales, this is a solid crime thriller. The main detective has his foibles, as one would expect. Engaging.
