DEEP COVER (2011) by Peter Turnbull is the second mystery novel in his "Harry Vicary Series"; Turnbull is also the author of "The Hennessy and Yellich Series," which is set in Yorkshire and currently is much longer (at least 18 volumes that I know of). Detective Inspector Harry Vicary of Scotland Yard is the central figure of this book's rather large cast of characters, and this book's central problem is HOW to get evidence against the powerful, sadistic duo of villains (a male and a female), who have been selling drugs, trafficking in sex-slaves, and murdering scores of people.

The story is told through an omniscient narrator in dozens of relatively short scenes that shift back and forth between the forces for Law and the forces for Lawlessness. The opening scenes of the discovery of three bodies are among the best; the early "procedural" scenes, including postmortems, are interesting. Later scenes often are less gripping, and the investigation seems to have little direction until—near the end—a young woman on Vicary's team volunteers to go undercover to try to get the vitally needed evidence.

The characterization of Vicary himself is far less circumstantial and interesting than that of many of the subordinate characters. We learn that he and his wife are technically alcoholics and that for a while (prior to this book) his career had been in jeopardy, but his alcoholism has no connection whatsoever with this current case. As for the two main villains, one of them has been living in a ritzy neighborhood under an assumed name, while the other (a woman) appears to be working for him—yet once the male villain's real name is discovered by the police (with some implausible difficulty), it appears that dozens of gang members and subordinate gofers have been calling their boss only by his real name all along, AND the woman who seemed to work for him is (SPOILER ALERT) the true leader of the gang—and we as readers are NEVER INFORMED (1) why the false name was ever bothered with and (2) when and how the evil woman and evil man got together and set up their gang with her primarily in charge. (Omniscient narrators are supposed to know such stuff ... though often authors have no clue.)

The ending to this case is relatively easy to foresee, both in general terms (SPOILER ALERT: the good folks win) and in specific details (smart readers need to PAY ATTENTION to what the good folks have been saying to the bad ones). Sadly, THE OUTCOME IS NOT PRESENTED IN A MANNER THAT IS SATISFYING FOR THE READER: the wind-up of this novel is far too short and lacking in details. (Earlier passages have often provided us with hundreds of totally irrelevant bits of information—about British geography, British architecture, British buildings' odors/odours, and British regional dialects, among other things.) The page and a half that close this book simply give us (in 50 words or less) a bare-bones list of the court sentences given to a few of the villains. We do NOT have any scenes, short or long, where the top villains are arrested and make statements or otherwise react to their fates. We do NOT get any scenes, short or long, where the villains are on trial and react to that procedure and/or the outcome. In short, we readers get NO satisfying indications that ANY of the sadistic scum, who've made thousands of people's lives pure hell, ARE in fact at last suffering themselves in ANY specific and vividly described ways.

Weighing this book's strengths and shortcomings, in my judgment it deserves a "C+" grade (3 stars out of 5).

...by the middle of the book it became pretty obvious how it was going to end.

Nevertheless, there were some interesting characters, both among the police and the villains. The bad guys were indeed scary and the plot was pretty complex.

A warning: the book is chock full of British slang, much of which is unintelligible to anybody from another country.

All-in-all it was enjoyable, but not a book I would recommend to a friend.

Coiron

This book kept me enthralled while I neglected things that needed doing. Very worth the detour and quite well written

Lamranilv

This story intertwined several stories with villains and nasties all around. The dialogue is interesting and factual. The characters well developed and the plot is laid out fully.
