    About this ebook

    Detective Inspector Charlie Priest believes in doing things by the book. It's just that, in the heat of the chase, he sometimes turns over two page at once. His unorthodox but Priest does get results. When he's not putting crooks behind bars, he's watching out for his team of young constables, only too aware that for them, as much as for him, the knockabout humour of the cop-shop is in stark contrast to the dangers they face on the beat.
    Sheep stealing and shoplifting are everyday crimes in Heckley, but there are local villains with bigger fish to fry. When Charlie suspects a now-respected businessman, with a background in extortion and GBH, of involvement in international art fraud, he's taking on an enemy with friends in high places. But Charlie can be persistent to the point of recklessness - and, once he's realised that there's a link to the lethal doctored heroin that's striking down the local kids, no threat will stop him.

      A return to form from Pawson, and all the customary characteristics are here in abundance: well-structured plot, plausible and empathetic characters, enticing descriptions of the Yorkshire countryside, a handful of arty references and the usual sprinkling of dreadful jokes.Set around Christmas and New Year from 1998/99 it starts off with the murder of a cosmetic surgeon in a luxurious apartment block in Heckley's more affluent quarter. Meanwhile a part-time barmaid claims that she had been raped on Christams Eve.Detective Inspector Priest has his hands full over the holiday period, and to make things worse he is missing Annabelle, his partner of five years, who has stayed in Surrey with her sister. All in all he is not in a great mood ...
    • 5/5
      Another cracking Charlie Priest story. An apparently well-liked doctor is murdered and it proves difficult to find anyone who would dislike him enough to kill him, meantime Charlie's love life seems to have a cloud on the horizon in the shape of a potential rival. The author cleverly weaves all these strands together bringing in characters who live off the page. Highly recommended.
