Death Can't Take a Joke (Kiszka and Kershaw Book 2)
‘GRIPPING’ – VAL MCDERMID
When masked men brutally murder of his closest friends, Janusz Kiszka – fixer to London’s Poles – must dig deep into the city’s criminal underbelly to track down the killers. Shadowing a beautiful Ukrainian girl he believes could solve the mystery, Kiszka finds himself skating dangerously close to her ruthless ‘businessman’ boyfriend. Meanwhile, his old nemesis, police detective Natalie Kershaw is struggling to identify a mystery suicide, a Pole who jumped off the top of Canary Wharf Tower. But all is not what it seems…
Sparks fly as Kiszka and Kershaw’s paths cross again, but when their separate investigations call for a journey to Poland’s wintry eastern borders, they're forced to call an uneasy truce...
