And then there's the monumental task of providing concert security for rock legend Rogan O'Neill ...But for Detective Inspector Colin Anderson, the nightmare is about to get terrifyingly close to home. For a third boy has now gone missing - Colin's own son, Peter. The team race to find the boys before it is too late. But how long will it be before they realize the key is hidden in the lyrics of a rock song - "Tambourine Girl" by Rogan O'Neill?
Review
This book is very difficult to get into at the start. The characters are not very well introduced, and since they are all police staff, it becomes very confusing and difficult to tell PC x from DCI y. I found that the story is also very slow to get going. However the book redeems itself in the last two sections as the story picks up and the characters personalities show more. The whole story reveals itself in the final chapter with an interesting ending.
Based on my opinion of this novel I am not sure if I would read others by the author, however the information at the beggining of the book reveals that this is only the author's second novel, so future books may be different.
