The Bullet That Missed — Richard Osman Coleman’s Notes — The Reader’s Companion Digital Reader’s Companion | £6.95
The Thursday Murder Club has another cold case to solve — but this time Elizabeth has a deadly problem of her own.
Television journalist Bethany Waites disappeared nearly ten years ago when her car plunged from a cliff.
Her body was never found.
Now Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron are reopening the case.
Their investigation leads from television newsrooms to financial fraud, hidden identities and people who have very good reasons for wanting the past to remain buried.
At the same time, Elizabeth finds herself facing the mysterious Viking — a man determined to force her to kill someone she would much rather keep alive.
