A teenage boy is beaten to death with a wheel brace on an abandoned pier. There is one eye-witness to the crime. The police are convinced they have the murderer, they just need a positive identification to lock him up for good. Neil Cochrane was the prime suspect in a serial killer investigation ten years ago and only a travesty of justice allowed him to walk free. The new murder fits the profile exactly and this time he won't escape. That's what Detective Inspector Jack Deacon believes and he is a determined man. But Daniel Hood is the eye-witness and he is not prepared to bow to pressure and identify Cochrane when he is not convinced that this is the man he saw. A taut, compelling exploration of love and honour, True Witness is the second book in the series featuring Brodie Farrell and Daniel Hood.
