Time to Kill(1993)

Roger Ormerod

When Detective Sergeant Dave Mallin is invited for a few frames of snooker, he wasn't expecting to be playing Eldon Kyle.

Kyle was the man who had threatened Both Mallin and his colleague Geoff Forbes with murder.

But his opponent is more deadly than even Mallin could have guessed.

And when Geoff is killed in the very same building, it seems Mallin has given Kyle a firm alibi.

Soon Geoff's wife Elsa is under threat as well.

And Mallin himself may be implicated.

Mallin must fight to prove his innocence and to find the real killer in this atmospheric crime thriller, which is perfect for fans of Peter James and Peter Robinson.
