The Wife Disposal Service by Jason Black
SYNOPSIS: Detective Inspector Don Hanson is investigating the mysterious deaths of several married women, all secretly planning to divorce. He soon finds himself hopelessly out of his depth tracking a secret organisation that knows his plans before he does.
Who is the mysterious Deborah who spends her time recruiting hackers and weapons experts. And how is she able to vanish without a trace whenever the police get near.
What happened to Greg, a computer hacker who disappeared in very odd circumstances. What happened to Dillan, an ex SAS trooper, who got pulled from a bar-fight and vanishes. DI Hanson's boss; DCI Alison Coulson puts all this together and comes up with an amazing new opportunity.
All characters and their opinions are figments of the author's weird (and possibly illegal) imagination. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental.
