Description
When salesman Tony Silkstone confesses to murder the top brass of the Heckley police are keen to convict and close the lurid case. But Detective Inspector Charlie Priest is not convinced that things are as simple as they seem. A hitman turns up in town, a juvenile car thief wreaks havoc and Charlie complicates matters further when he starts dating one of his colleagues. As links between his case and another murder emerge, Charlie pursues the trail and finds himself faced with questions about his own friends and his feelings towards them.
Reviews / Votes
'Pawson is very much an author to keep one's eye on in future.' Birmingham Post 'An intellectual and earthy detective, Charlie Priest could well become for Yorkshire what Wycliffe is for Cornwall.' Publishing News 'One of Yorkshire's best-kept secrets. Highly recommended.' Crime Time 'The story far outranks the usual police procedural.' Yorkshire PostMore details

Person
Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer, followed by a spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time writer. He lives in Fairburn, Yorkshire, and when not hunched over the word processor likes nothing more than tramping across the moors which often feature in his stories.
