The Noose Tightens
(2013)(The first book in the Sergeant Martin Nicols Mystery series)
A novel by Alistair Kinnon
In a dusty barn the body of a young boy is found hanging.
It is the most sickening case Sergeant Martin Nicols has ever witnessed. And also the most baffling. From a broken home, the boy may have been a victim of abuse. But by whom? And for what ends? No one is speaking. And no one wants to help.
As he digs deep into the case, Nichols uncovers a seedy underworld of twisted desires and cruel punishments. A world that comes dangerously close to home: to his own police department, and even to his own past.
As he gets closer and close to solving the case, the noose tightens...
The Noose Tightens is a brilliant psychological crime drama that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
"A fantastic read. I was hooked from the first page." - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of Trade-Off.
"Nicols is up there with Rebus - a classic detective." - Robert Foster, best-selling author of The Lunar Code.
