Danny Isham is a detective whose mother is dying. A couple of children's bodies are found on a building site. Could these be the world of child killer Matthew? And what do the local crime bosses have to do with it? As you can tell, The Future of the Past weaves a number of threads together, and the conclusion is surprising and a bit distracting. There's not much new in the style of writing and the villains are pale imitations of those made popular by the likes of Lynda LaPlante and Martina Cole, but nevertheless, the story maintains pace and interest and overall it's a good read. The ending is surprising (well, at least, I didn't see it coming). Recommended.
