Who the Hell is Harry Black? (Inspector Samuel Tay #7)

TWO PEOPLE ARE WORKING THE CASE.

ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN DEAD FOR A DECADE.

For over thirty years, a man named Harry Black lived quietly in a small town on the Gulf of Thailand. On his eighty-sixth birthday, while walking on the beach, he's shot and killed by a sniper firing from a half mile away.

Why would someone send a highly skilled sniper to kill an insignificant old man? Maybe he wasn't really as insignificant as everybody thought he was.

Inspector Samuel Tay was once Singapore's best-known homicide detective, but he's no longer a cop. He was too much of a maverick for straight-and-narrow little Singapore and his bosses forced him into an early retirement. When a guy who once did Tay a big favor asks him to look into Harry Black's murder, it's his chance to get back in the game.

Tay's mother wants to help. Tay has always had a somewhat fraught relationship with her, but he figures they get along pretty well now, considering she's been dead for a decade. Tay doesn't believe in ghosts, of course, and when his mother shows up in the dark of night to give him advice about his cases, he knows perfectly well that those appearances aren't real. But here's the thing. Some of her advice is so good he can't help but listen to it anyway.

This time Tay's mother warns him that he's fishing in dangerous waters. 'I'll help you, Samuel,' she tells him, 'but you are about to expose secrets that will fundamentally alter the way people see the world. No one is ever going to thank you for what you’re doing.'

That sounds pretty overwrought to Tay and, besides, his mother isn't really there, so why should he believe her? This was just one old man who had lived in complete obscurity for thirty years. What secrets could he possibly have that were so big somebody murdered him over them?

But then that brings up an awkward question Sam Tay really does need to think about.

If he discovers the secrets someone killed Harry Black to keep hidden, will they kill Tay to silence him, too?
