Three Dead Tourists Ian McCollum

In the third DCI Day story, three mysteries blight the delightful Derbyshire town of Bakewell. It's 'Farmer's Market' on a sunny July Saturday and the town centre is packed with tourists.
Within the space of a few minutes, one tourist is brutally mugged and two more are reported missing. They have nothing in common - except all are running away from people they have harmed in the past - could their pursuers have caught up with them?
There are no witnesses. In the vital first 48 hours, Day isn't able to discover how many crimes he's dealing with, let alone if they're linked.
The breakthrough comes on the third day and, as facts emerge, the police become embroiled in a whirlwind of trouble involving international gangsters and Britain's Most Wanted Criminal.
The result is a desperate armed siege in which Day makes a controversial decision and loses control of the complex situation. His bosses demand he takes the blame! The only way back from disgrace is to place himself in the riskiest imaginable situation. It's death or glory for DCI Day!
