Scottish expatriate forensic scientist Enzo Macleod has earned a well deserved reputation for solving a decades old cold case homicide (see 'Extraordinary People' and 'The Critic') as written in a true crime book by his daughter's boyfriend journalist Roger Raffin. Enzo has five unsolved cases left in order to complete his 'read' of Raffin's book.
Roger describes the 1992 Paris murder of Yves, but Enzo finds focusing difficult on the homicide as he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer with only a few months to live. However, the culprit knows only of Enzo's success and fears the forensic expert will expose him. The killer works behind the scenes to destroy Enzo including setting him up as a murder suspect and threatens his daughter and other loved ones. Thus Enzo is forced to investigate the rent boy murder.
As with the two previous Macleod investigative thriller (see 'Extraordinary People' and 'The Critic'), 'Blacklight Blue' is a superb cold case whodunit enhanced by the shocking personal health issue confronting the hero. The storyline effortlessly moves back forth through four decades with the past adding to the overall drama. Fans of this extraordinary series will appreciate the irony that the killer forces Enzo to investigate.
