Have you ever read a book that you couldn’t wait to finish? Have you ever read a book that you didn’t want to end? ‘This series is the best police procedurals I have read.”Tony’s storytelling remains first class with his personal knowledge of the police procedures coupled with his insight on the human detective approach…’
A mass shooting brings bloodshed to a quiet suburban street, setting DCI Sam Parker on the deadly trail of vengeful gangsters, dirty cops and a sinister crime boss intent on making his moves unseen.
In the blistering fourth instalment of the Dark Tides thriller series, Sam learns justice can be hard to find when truth hides in the shadows.
**The Detective** DCI Sam a widow who loved sailing before her husband was lost at sea, is a modern thinking senior investigating officer who is not afraid to back her judgement.
**Her Deputy** D/Sgt Ed an ‘old school’ detective who doesn’t always agree with the politically correct nature of modern policing. Fiercely loyal to Sam.
**The Place** Seaton St. George is a fictional seaside town on the north east coast located between Newcastle and depravation and crime are bedfellows; the work of Eastern Police challenging.
From old fishermen’s cottages to newer housing estates, secrets are hidden behind every door.
**The Author** Tony Hutchinson was a police officer for thirty years, the vast majority of his service spent in the CID. By the time John Darwin faked his own death and the ‘Canoe Man’ case file hit Tony’s desk (an investigation that catapulted him to international attention) he was looking at back on a career involving over 40 murder investigations. As a retired Detective Superintendent, Cleveland Police’s former Murder Squad Head brings his own inside knowledge of police procedure to bear on his fiction.
