Book description
When the police break into Joe Creeney's Liverpool house, his dead
wife is hanging by a rope form the banisters and Joe is walking away
holding the ladder. Lorraine Creeney has been dead just seconds, and
there is nobody else in the house, yet Joe's sister, Caroline
Spackman, is convinced her brother is innocent. Amateur PI Jack Scott
is called in by solicitor Stephanie Grey. Faced with a trail of
violence and lies going back twelve months to a previous murder for
which Creeney had been convicted, Jack Scott must unravel mysteries
both past and present. He must also examine possible links to a
woman's murder in North Wales, and watch with despair as more bloody
murders lead him to a truly shocking denouement.
John Paxton Sheriff was born in Liverpool and spent much of his
childhood in Wales. He served in the army for fifteen years, married his
childhood sweetheart and had three children before moving to Australia.
Returning to live in Wales, he realised his dream of becoming a full
time author and has written extensively for local newspapers.
