Great North Road - Peter F. Hamilton
Someone murdered a member of the
powerful North family in the English city of Newcastle. Sid is a solid
investigator who’d like nothing better than to hand off this case, one that is
sure to earn him enough enemies to ruin his career. Yet the case is about to
take an unexpected turn: because the circumstances of the murder bear an
uncanny resemblance to a killing that took place years ago on the planet St.
Libra, where a North clone and his entire household were slaughtered in cold
blood. The convicted slayer, Angela Tramelo, has always claimed her innocence.
And now it seems she may have been right. Because only the St. Libra killer
could have committed the Newcastle crime.
Problem is, Angela also claims that the murderer was an alien monster.
Now Sid must navigate through a Byzantine minefield of competing interests within the police department and the world’s political and economic elite . . . all the while hunting down a brutal killer poised to strike again. And on St. Libra, Angela, newly released from prison, joins a mission to hunt down the elusive alien, only to learn that the line between hunter and hunted is a thin one.
