A review by jmatkinson1
Hidden in Plain Sight by Jeffrey Archer
4.0
Detective William Warwick has plenty on his plate, a promotion to the drugs squad and an incipient wedding plus fatherhood, however he also has his nemesis Miles Faulkner haunting him. After Faulkner is caught in a drugs swoop Warwick's lawyer family leads on the case whilst Warwick himself is involved in the hunt for a drug baron called The Viper.
This is the second book in the series about a 1980s detective in the unreconstructured Metropolitan Police of the time. The story bounds along at an agreeable pace and is mildly diverting but this isn't high quality crime fiction. It's a bit of a mash-up of a police procedural and one of Archer's standard epic novels, multiple characters and plotlines all intertwining, which is not a bad thing.
