Crime

The Killing of Bobbi Lomax is the story of Clark Houseman, a rare books dealer, an expert in his field, beloved by both collectors and The Faith - the immensely powerful local church, and one of his biggest clients. Beloved, that is, until he is blown up by the city's third bomb in less than twenty-four hours. As Clark hovers on the brink of death first on the scene are detectives Sinclair and Alvarez who, after the previous deadly blasts, are under pressure to close the case and stop panic spreading through their community. Amid a vortex of conspiracy theories and local politics, their investigation unearths a web of intrigue surrounding The Faith and its secretive dealings. With time running out, the detectives start to wonder if there could be more to the mild-mannered, bookish Clark Houseman than first thought...
