Book description
The sun is shining in Heckley, and DI Charlie Priest is
wise-cracking his way through the daily routine. Work is, if not
quite relaxed, at least stress-free. The biggest case on the books?
A petty thief pinching underwear from the washing-lines of
unsuspecting housewives. Charlie's pretty confident he can handle it.
But all good things come to an end and it's not long before the
clouds roll in. Two people nearly die after eating contaminated food
from a local supermarket. The media is alerted, a national scare
ensues and it's clear that if Charlie doesn't act fast he could be
dealing with a murder enquiry.
Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer, followed by a
spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time
writer. He lives in Fairburn, Yorkshire, and, when not hunched over
the word processor, likes nothing more than tramping across the moors,
which often feature in his stories. He is a member of the Murder Squad
and the Crime Writers' Association. www. stuartpawson. co
