Meet ex-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 Kidney Donor.

Two old soldiers, down on their luck. Bound by one dark secret. And it might be worth killing for . . .

Dave Slater returns home from Thailand, jetlagged, jaded — and dying for a night in his own bed. Too bad Norman has moved someone else into Slater’s cozy little cottage! A troubled homeless veteran named Ryan.

Ryan has given up his own bed in a filthy skip, to an old mate from the Forces. A mate in need of a favour. Ryan thinks he’ll be safe inside the skip.

But in the dead of night, someone sets fire to the skip. With Ryan’s mate sleeping inside.

When the dead man turns out to be missing a kidney, the case takes a disturbing new turn. Slater and Norman realize it’s up to them to investigate, even without the clout of Tinton Police Force behind them.

They can’t stand by and watch two innocent lives go up in flames.

Not with the intended victim hiding under Slater’s roof . . .

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.
