All Things Must Pass - Tim Ellis

. .

Résumé :
Parish and Angie go on holiday to the island of Santorini in Greece, but when Angie goes missing the morning after their arrival, Parish has to work with the local police to find her. Richards is tasked with going through the cold cases at the Evidence Warehouse in Rye and making notes for future action. It's been made clear that she is not to investigate on her own. She begins to delve into a thirty year-old case involving the death of a man found in his own farmhouse, but Richards much prefers to be out and about rather than stuck in a dingy old warehouse. Just as she finds herself a man, the house becomes a crime scene, the dogs go missing and the children are abducted. Xena and Stick are given the case of a boy's skeleton found in a shallow grave on the bank of the River Lee in the caravan park at Dodd's Weir. It soon becomes apparent that there are more missing boys - lots more, and the Chief Constable doesn't want it to get out. Ryder Dutton wants her to obtain the name of a traitor passing the UK's secrets to the Russians, but to do that she must sleep with the Defence Attach? - Valery Nikitin. Unfortunately for Xena, Nikitin is a sadist. And how is Stick able to save Xena's career - what's he hiding?
