Deadly Virtues, Bannister - B-

                                          This is an interesting book set in an English town, wherein the police chief is lauded for having cleaned things up, with the exception of one local bad guy who always seems to slip out of his fingers.  It takes most of the book to figure out that the bad guy helped the chief arrest all of the other evildoers in exchange for his privileged protection.  When a young frightened black man is killed in jail by a local goon, an investigation into his death slowly peels back the layers of deceit and lies.  With the help of a new young woman fresh out of police school, the chief finally does his duty.
