Now you see me by Margaret Murphy

An intiguing detective story set in Liverpool concerning a missing person who is not really missing, a murder, a dodgy security firm and a complex computer crime. Sara rents a couple of rooms in her house to Megan who complains of being followed by a muscular man who watches but never approaches her. The action then moves to a security firm run by Doran who learned his business working as an enforcer for one of the Trotskyite groups that ran Liverpool in the seventies and early eighties. The police are lead by Inspector Rickman, who is suffering from some unnamed trauma, backed up by Sgt Foster a Lothario who has an unrequited lust for Constable Naomi Hart the third member of the team. The action bowls along and the description of the computer wizardry is fascinating. I am not sure that I approve of the ending as I like to see criminals brought to justice.
