He will bring a cunning killer to justiceor die trying. But the real reason he went up to the tower on that stormy winter night is linked to a secret he would carry to his grave. (Goodreads) >>> Former detective James Pibble now lives at Flycatchers, a very nice nursing home. He has little to occupy his time and is rather listless. That is until he discovers a body atop the water tower. It was a security guard named George Tosca and he is not alone in having met an untimely death at Flycatchers. There was a former military man and a gambler. - Pibble cant resist and he is on the chase once more. He discovers blackmail and as more violence occurs, things get very dangerous. - This is a very good addition to the James Pibble series. I truly enjoyed it. (Joyce on Goodreads)
