Suspicious Minds

Liverpool solicitor Harry Devlin has too much curiosity for his own good. The wife of his best client, businessman Jack Stirrup, has vanished without trace and the police suspect foul play. Stirrup claims she is still alive, but Harry wonders whether Jack has something to hide. And when Stirrup's daughter and her boyfriend also go missing, Harry finds himself hunting a brutal murderer.

Meanwhile, Valerie Kaiwar, an attractive young barrister, is alternately passionate and distant. Harry is sure she is keeping a secret from him - but what? To add to his troubles, he gets a lead on the identity of the Beast, a ruthless sex maniac who is terrorizing the streets - but his suspicions provoke a clash between his personal and professional loyalties which might prove disastrous.
