PIRACY, CONSPIRACY . . . MURDER?
An influential shipping firm, Goldwaters, pays Eric Ward a large retainer to work for them, much to his surprise. Then one of the Goldwaters fleet, the Sierra Nova, is “arrested” and is unable to leave port.
The reason?
A crew member, Edwards, has been caught in possession of drugs and is accused of smuggling — but now he’s been removed from the ship, why can’t the voyage go ahead?
Then Edwards is murdered on his way to the courtroom.
Ward soon finds himself sinking into the dangerous world of international conspiracy and modern-day piracy.
A GRIPPING, WELL-CRAFTED MYSTERY THAT WILL HAVE YOU COMPLETELY ABSORBED.
Perfect for fans of Peter James, Ruth Rendell, P.D. James and Peter Robinson.
THE DETECTIVE
Eric Ward is forced to retire from the police when he discovers he suffers from glaucoma but qualifies as a solicitor (lawyer) and sets up his practice on the Quayside in Newcastle, where he deals with the seamier side of the law. When he marries a wealthy young woman she attempts to persuade him to settle in Northumberland and work with wealthier clients but he stubbornly refuses to give up his criminal practice in Newcastle. Although she draws him into the world of high finance he still insists on continuing at the Quayside — which causes tensions within his marriage and leads to unintended consequences.
This fast-paced mystery set in 1990s England will have you enthralled from the start.
