Description

Local author Frank Lean whose ‘Dave Cunane’ private eye novels set in Manchester and the North West were optioned for TV by Ian McShane has released an eighth book in the series as an e-book. The previous seven were published by Random House and are available on Amazon.
The eighth book in the series ‘KILL ME IF YOU CAN’ finds Dave being propositioned by a High Court judge to kill highly placed villain who is plotting to overthrow the British constitution. The problem is that the man the Judge intends as Cunane’s target is a) anonymous and b) has contacts at the highest levels in the police and security services. Naturally Cunane refuses the Judge’s offer but merely by calling on him the Judge has implicated Cunane.
The plotters must kill him by any means they can.
The Judge is killed by beheading in what Cunane decides is a ‘false flag’ operation to implicate the British Muslim community.
The violence ramps up when Cunane’s home is attacked by men throwing Molotov cocktails, men with the bearing and attitude of ex-police or military definitely not Islamic jihadis!The plot involving a dissident section of MI5 thickens when Cunane finds that they intend to set off a dirty bomb to poison the North of England with radiation and create the panic they need to seize power.
