A Song for the Brokenhearted (A Breen and Tozer Mystery, 3) by Shaw, William. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780316246910.

The earthshaking decade of the 1960s comes to a sweeping and dangerous close, as William Shaws detective duo battle the most powerful members of London society. After being wounded in the line of duty, Detective Sergeant Breen recuperates on the family farm of his former partner, Helen Tozer. To fill the long and empty hours, he reviews the open case file for a murder that has haunted Helen for years: that of her younger sister. Breen discovers that the teenage victim had been having a secret affair with James Fletchet, the son of an affluent local landowner, celebrated for his service in Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising. Breen and Tozer return to Londons Criminal Investigation Division, where their questions about Fletchets past are met with resistance and suspicion. The deeper they probe, the more people they implicate in their investigation. New Scotland Yard doesnt look kindly upon breaking rank, and its only a matter of time before Breen and Tozer make themselves a target. Shaws stirring, heartfelt and diabolically plotted mystery series is everything a reader looks for: enveloping, invigorating, and wonderfully entertaining.
