The Second Jeopardy by Roger Ormerod
Four years ago, a young woman named Angela Reed was murdered. The prime suspect at the time, Harry Hodnutt, had jumped into her car after Charlie Braine, his partner in crime, drove off with the jewels from a shop they had just robbed. Charlie and his car were never found, while Harry insisted that he’d left Angela — alive — at the lay-by where her body was subsequently discovered. Though he was cleared of Angela’s murder, Harry spent four years inside for his involvement with the robbery. Now Harry is out, still haunted by Angela’s death, and a man who claims he was married to Angela is threatening Harry’s life. When Virginia Brent, the daughter of the Assistant Chief Constable, offers to help Harry find the truth behind Angela’s murder, Harry is sceptical, but ultimately accepts her assistance and the two form an unlikely partnership. Virginia claims a relationship with Angela Reed that drives her interest in the case; Harry is anxious to not only clear his name for good but to rid himself of the threat to his life. Together, Harry and Virginia delve back into Angela’s murder, following leads, digging up dirt on Harry’s old partners in crime and Angela’s double life, and seeking answers.
What happened to Charlie Braine and his car? What part does mysterious criminal Sean O’Loughlin play? Who really killed Angela Reed?
