Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . .

WHILE THE CAT’S AWAY . . .

Mike Nash is away on compassionate leave but that doesn’t mean the criminals are going to take a break. Detective Clara Mironova and the Helmsdale team face a sudden increase in crime. Minor offences ranging from theft, shoplifting, and poaching, pale into insignificance when a violent turf war breaks out between rival drugs gangs. Soon they have to cope with three murders, including the shooting of a police officer killed on a routine call.

NOW IT’S PERSONAL.

Then a batch of deliberately contaminated heroin hits the streets, resulting in the deaths of three addicts and causing media panic.

WHO’S THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE CRIME WAVE?

Thrilling from the first page, this is a book which never lets up with the surprises.
