The Detective
DCI Sam Parker: a widow who loved sailing before her husband was lost at sea, is a modern thinking senior investigating officer.
Her Deputy
D/Sgt Ed Whelan: an ‘old school’ detective who doesn’t always agree with the politically correct nature of policing.
The Place
Seaton St. George is a fictional seaside town on the north east coast: depravation and crime are bedfellows; the work of Eastern Police challenging.
The Author
By the time John Darwin faked his own death and the ‘Canoe Man’ case hit Tony's desk (an investigation that catapulted him to international attention) he was looking back on a career involving over 40 murder investigations. The former Murder Squad Head brings his extensive knowledge of crime and police procedure to bear on his fiction.
As one Amazon reviewer said, ‘real cop, real author.’
