The White Crow

Philomena McCarthy is a police officer in London. She is also the daughter of a crime boss in London. Consequently she faces much conflict in her life.

One evening Philomena discovers a five year old girl wandering by the road. Taking the child home she discovers that the child's mother has been murdered. The police soon learn that the family business has also been robbed and police find the husband tied to a chair in the family jewellery store. The police immediately suspect that Philomena's family is involved.

Meanwhile her father's business interests are threatened by someone who wants to take over the firm. Members of her family are in danger and Philomena's father is determined to protect them and his business interests.

In The White Crow Michael Robotham has written another fast paced crime novel with lots of action as well as questions about the importance of family.This is the second book in the Philomena McCarthy series and I suspect that it will not be the last.
