TAYLOR & BALON Thriller series, Book # 3

Synopsis:

Someone has made an incriminating statement that forces Taylor and Balon to investigate Ted Sheegan's past and his secret relationship with Anita Chisholm, the mayor of Riswick.

Formally, they are no longer allowed to interfere with the investigation into the mysterious suicides at Grenfill High. However, Sheegan's case turns out to be closely intertwined with the dramatic events at the high school, so that Taylor and Balon have to confront their colleagues from the FBI again.

The fact that Sheegan is their supervisor and recently returned to work does not make the investigation any easier.

A secret relationship full of deadly tension.

The death of a teacher who committed suicide at a Dutch school caused a small discussion in the media. A solid base for a mysterious mini thriller. Instead of a short story, it became a full length thriller.

For full details and inspiration see Taylor & Balon # 1 'Deteached'.

In this second book a few new characters appear. Duncan Bradley is named in honor of actor Michael Clarke Duncan, best known as John Coffey in 'The Green Mile' and Charles Bradley, a great singer with an unexceptional, too short, career.
