You're looking for literary complexity or philosophical depth rather than propulsive plot mechanics.

About this book

When an eccentric widow reports being stalked by her former lodger, Detective Jack Warr is the only person who takes her claims seriously. Days later, she is found brutally murdered in her home. The investigation reveals an international drugs operation connected to the widow's property, making the case increasingly complex. As the search for the lodger—the prime suspect—reaches multiple dead ends, he appears to have disappeared entirely. Jack must determine how far he is willing to go in pursuit of justice. If he crosses the line of the law, a single mistake could cost him everything.
