Spoiler:

The hijacking of a lorry filled with whiskey. A body discovered within a burnt-out cellar. Are they connected?

Detective Inspector Fusil believes they are.

All he requires now is some evidence. But that's easier said than done.

Sending his already over-worked team out into the field, Fusil is under strong scrutiny from his superiors.

Politics prevent him from chasing his biggest lead too closely.

His budget prevents him from spending too much time searching for new leads.

Gut instinct points him in the direction of Findren and Sharman, two local wine sellers that have establishments large enough to handle the whiskey heist.

But can he prove that either of them were involved?

Ordered by his chief inspector to move on from those two and search elsewhere for suspects, Fusil is fast running out of evidence to catch the criminals.

Unless he breaks the rules…

Putting his career on the line, he disregards orders in search of the truth.

Can he catch the perpetrators before his insubordination is discovered?

Frustrations mount as he finally identifies the criminal.

But without proof, how can he get a conviction?

Guilt Without Proof is a brilliantly written crime novel, full of twists that will keep you hooked right until the very end.
