Green for Danger by Mark HaydenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
After Operation Blue Sky was shut down in the last book things have gone quiet. Conrad has returned to Afghanistan, teaching Afghan wannabe pilots to fly. Kate has left the army and is looking for work. Tom takes his inspector exams. Meanwhile, the counterfeiters have moved operations to the Black Country and Tom gets permission to spend one week in the Midlands trying to trace the new operations but when he gets there the local police seem to be more intent on covering things up than on helping him track down the forgers.
This second installment is very much focused on Tom, Conrad and Kate barely appear. When one policeman is killed and another badly wounded shortly after Tom's visit under suspicious circumstances he makes the decision to transfer to the Central Inspectorate of Professional Policing Standards (CIPPS) and go back to the Midlands to investigate whether one or both of the officers were taking bribes from the forgers.
We get old infidelities, a good old boys network, the IRA, cheap knock-off vodka and cigarettes from China, corruption and more twisty turny plot lines.
Warning, this ends on a massive cliff-hanger. Book three downloaded and ready to read.
