Summary
Picardie, 1963. A truck drops a group of illegal workers by a deserted stretch of canal in the dead of night, desperate travellers in a pipeline, searching for a better life. Days later, one of them surfaces, stabbed to death. For Inspector Lucas Rocco, finding the victim's fellow travellers presents problems. Most Algerian immigrants are welcome, but trawling for any who aren't is a sensitive issue loaded with threats of civil unrest - something which terrifies his bosses in the Ministry. And when Rocco is ordered to stay away from one factory where he suspects illegals are employed, it goes against everything he knows.

Slow start like a long fuse
This story ping pongs back and forward, filling the stories of the protagonists and only slowly do the pieces of the jigsaw fall into place. Keep going and the story picks up the pace and makes an exciting denouement.
Well told and worth the wait.

A SAD DISAPPOINTMENT
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the first Inspector Rocco novel. Sadly it seems to have been a one-off. I gave up on this one after a few chapters. It is quite simply dull - as dreary as the landscape in which Rocco finds himself. The North African villains are as convincing as the baddies in an early Bond movie. It's perhaps significant that Roger May is an excellent narrator of JIm Kelly's crime novels but here sounds uninvolved with what's going on.
