In This Bright Future: A Novel Volume 5 -- Peter Grainger, Paperback
DC Smith must confront both a violent history and the ghosts of his own past in this twisty thriller. "The greatest fictional sleuth you've probably never heard of." --Financial Teams Recovering from knee surgery, DC Smith is prescribed two weeks of bed rest. There will be no chasing murderers through the streets of Kings Lane--just a simple cuppa and a good book. He's almost looking forward to it. That is, until there is a knock at the door. It's only his next-door neighbor, but it is the beginning of a thrilling case that will take Smith to Northern Ireland, and three decades back in time to the darkest scenes of the detective's past as a British intelligence officer during the Troubles. When old loyalties, buried secrets, and a complicated web of history and betrayal resurface, Smith is forced to confront events he thought were long behind him, because this case is personal.
