The Mayfly (Charlie Priest Thriller 1)

The Mayfly is a high-octane thriller from an exhilarating new voice, perfect for fans of Dan Brown and MJ Arlidge. It's happening again. A mutilated body discovered in the woods. A murderous plan conceived in the past. A reckoning seventy years in the making . . . Charlie Priest, ex-detective inspector turned London lawyer, is hired by influential entrepreneur Kenneth Ellinder to investigate the murder of his son. But Priest is no ordinary lawyer - he's brilliant, yet flawed - and, as he soon finds out, this case will push him, and those closest to him, to the edge. Teaming up with the enigmatic Jessica Ellinder, Priest traces the evidence back to the aftermath of the Holocaust and uncovers a secretive society whose influence reaches into the very heart of government. With more victims going missing, Priest realises that not everyone should be trusted. As he races to uncover the truth, can he prevent history from repeating itself?
