05/16/2016British author Stacey’s solid fourth Daniel Whelan mystery (after 2014’s Tell No Lies) finds the former British policeman delivering animal feed around the Devon town of Tavistock, accompanied by his retired police dog, Taz. When Daniel interrupts two men menacing one of his customers, Lorna Myers, he and Taz drive them off. Daniel learns from Lorna that the villains were seeking her husband, whom she has not heard from in some time. The next day, Lorna’s 15-year-old daughter, Zoe, contacts Daniel because she’s concerned by the disappearance of her boyfriend, Shane Brennan, and the money that Zoe raised as part of an ill-conceived plan for the two to be together. Daniel accompanies the headstrong Zoe on her search for Shane, who’s a member of an ethnic group known as the Travellers (whom many British people disdain), while continuing to provide support for Lorna. As the tension and suspense gradually build, Stacey takes a somewhat circuitous route to the satisfactory resolution of both disappearances. (July)

2016-04-12Missing husbands and boyfriends are the order of the day for ex-cop Daniel Whelan (Nothing But Lies, 2014, etc.). When he makes a delivery to Abbots Farm, Daniel, who's driven for Tavistock Farm Supplies ever since leaving the Bristol CID, finds owner Lorna Myers distraught. Two thugs are looking for Harvey, the husband she thought was overseas on business for his longtime company, Giradelle Santini. Daniel does such a good job comforting Lorna that the next day he gets a call from her daughter, Zoe, who wants his help locating her boyfriend, Shane Brennan. Zoe pawned two of her grandmother's rings to help Shawn buy a racing mare, and now he's disappeared, horse and all. Finding Shane won't be easy. His people are Travellers, a close-knit community who don't share secrets easily with "country" folk. Shane's uncle, dog breeder Billy Driscoll, may know where he is, but Driscoll isn't any more forthcoming about the boy's whereabouts than he is about the condition of the greyhounds on his farm. Daniel's German shepherd, Taz, isn't the only one who smells a rat, but figuring out just what's going on at in the Travellers' encampment will take its toll on both man and beast. Stacey's latest takes off at a trot rather than a gallop but covers the ground just the same.
