Am bound to do this wrong! But it's too good an idea not to support, so here goes...

"Deadly Virtues", published by St Martin's Press, New York, 2013.
The first of a new series of crime novels featuring police probationer Hazel Best, former security analyst Gabriel Ash and his dog Patience. (He thinks she talks to him, though it may be the post traumatic stress getting out of hand.)
The books are set in Norbold, an imaginary town in the English midlands.
"Deadly Virtues" begins with the death in custody of a young black man arrested for some very out-of-character behaviour. Anxious to understand what happened, Hazel and Ash begin to uncover disturbing evidence of corruption at Meadowvale Police Station that may go all the way to the top.
The second book in the series,
"Perfect Sins", is currently in production by SMP, while the third is still being slaved over by the author.
A backlist of over thirty books, mostly but not exclusively crime-related, is also available, thanks to a recent print-on-demand deal with Macmillan Bello.
