A late-night phone call from a long-ago superior from Scotland Yard shakes Inspector Walter Darriteau’s world. The caller needs a favour – and needs it bad, because the body of a young Oriental woman has been found dumped outside the city, at the dead of the night. A young man with aging parents and who struggles to make a living suddenly goes missing. Sergeant Karen Greenwood attents a lunch in the centre of Chester, where a big moneymaking scheme is being promoted. The events are all apparently random and couldn’t be linked, but Walter and his team are up to the task of piecing them all together, and running into a conflict with ruthless killers and crooks.

What Readers Are Saying

Well researched, Carter gives credence to his central protagonists, dealing with much of the cultural, socio-political concerns of today. It’s relevant and easy to relate to, though one would rather not have been led into the graphic, evil compulsions spawned by racism, gender, greed, the sex trade and almost all other horrors that make us want to turn off the news.” – Margaret Henderson Smith, Amazon review ★★★★★ 

This book has both and I was particularly impressed by the details of place from Hong Kong to Liverpool – the writer definitely knows England’s northwest inside out. Inspector Walter Darriteau manages to be hardworking, clever and endearingly human, much better than a lot of TV detectives I’ve seen. Also, it’s a good, long read – one to get into on dark winter nights.” – Annelise, Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ 

One of the best Walter Darriteau stories yet! Thoroughly enjoyed this, so enjoyable and easy to read. Walter is by far my most favourite Inspector of any murder mystery I’ve read…thank you for another brilliant book David!” – Amazon Customer ★★★★★
