No Tears for the Lost
(2007)(The fourth book in the Riley Gavin and Frank Palmer series)
A novel by Adrian Magson
The fourth thriller in the series featuring tenacious young female reporter, Riley Gavin, and her sometimes reluctant sidekick, tough former military cop, Frank Palmer.
For once, Riley and Frank are working opposite sides of the street. Hired as bodyguard to VIP Sir Kenneth Myburghe, it's Frank's job to keep journalists like Riley at bay. But Riley has a job to do, too - and she needs to know if the rumours she's hearing about Myburghe are true. With death threats involving his missing son, and the involvement of a rogue DEA agent, it looks as if the former British Ambassador to Colombia's past might be catching up with him.
Helped by the traumatised former intelligence officer who knew Myburghe during the Falklands war, Riley and Palmer find Sir Kenneth has more secrets than the Borgias, and his crumbling country home is shored up by a powder which doesn't come in Blue Circle Cement bags.
Reviews of 'NO TEARS FOR THE LOST'.
