The Auction
Book 2 of the DCI Steve Burt series.
First Published 24 June 2021
DCI Steve Burt is drawn into the sleazy underbelly of London - gentlemen's clubs and all - while tracking down a serial killer who is murdering young women and dumping their bodies soon afterwards. Then the body of an American professor is found floating in the Thames, and the DCI and his team find themselves involved in another murder case. In his search for answers, the DCI and his nearest and dearest are threatened as he uncovers police corruption at the highest level. As the investigation unfolds, links are discovered between murder, an attempt to auction a stolen formula for green energy, and unauthorised CIA activity in London.

Really Liked It
I loved the first one of this series, and whilst I knew the old "gang" wouldn't be back together, I was excited to see what Steve would be getting up to next. It picks up a few months after book 1 but the gaps are filled nicely and you jump straight in. There's two main cases to solve in this one, and I was definitely more intrigued by one more than the other. The new team don't disappoint, and support Steve brilliantly through the book. I definitely feel part of the detective team as I join their journey and its great to see it all unravel. A great 2nd book.
