Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . .

Please note, this book was previously published as The Red Telephone Box.

It starts with a phone call in the dead of night.

A flat is burning, in a tower block on the edge of town. Detective Slater would know the address anywhere — Detective Norman’s place! Slater races round there, heart thumping, to find a blazing inferno.

If Norman is home tonight, there’s no way he’s getting out alive.

The flat turns out to be empty. But Slater’s relief soon turns to panic. Next morning, Norman is nowhere to be found. Not at his flat, not down the station. Nowhere.

Slater needs to find his buddy. And fast. It’s not like Norm to do a disappearing act. What made him leave Tinton — or who?

A shady figure is spotted, hanging round Norman’s flat in a cloud of cigarette smoke. Slater will stop at nothing to track this mystery man. But little does he suspect where the hunt will end: a red telephone box in a picture-perfect little village.

Is this the final call for Slater and Norman?

This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
