It's 1980 and crime author Angelo Fox, creator of private eye Jimmy Finn has escaped the pressure of writing with a holiday to Corfu. Dave Barton, an annoying guest in the hotel where Angelo is staying, is murdered. The hotel waiter is arrested as the main suspect after poison is found in Barton's soup. Two elderly ladies at the hotel, fans of Angelo, who seem to know more about how Jimmy Finn works than Angelo himself, recognise him from his image on the back cover of one of his paperbacks. They are both convinced that the arrested waiter, Tobias, is so sweet and gentle that he must be innocent, and would Angelo investigate? "What would Jimmy Finn do?" they keep asking. At first Angelo is reluctant, but realising he'll get no peace he agrees to look into it. His research digs up more than he bargained for, particularly a corrupt police chief, who is determined to stop Angelo's snooping. But Angelo has an array of allies on his side in the form of the two ladies, the hotel owner's sons, a geeky holiday rep and a band of unruly Club 18-30 holiday revellers. What could possibly go wrong?

What do a vicar, an archaeologist, a gardener, two workmen and a dark, skulking figure that lurks behind walls and under hedges have in common? Not a lot...unless you include murder, witchcraft and the supernatural. Ed and Baz are contract workers accidentally digging up something they just weren't meant to find. Ever curious, adventurous and sometimes downright reckless, the two best friends apply their unique brand of street wisdom to solve a ghostly crime mystery from the distant past. Darkly humorous and different.

*contains scenes of violence and swearing* DC Roberta Sharp is more than just your average police detective. Outspoken, sassy and determined to make it up through the ranks, she's assigned to follow the case of a body found in the sea only to find herself the one being pursued. Far from being your run-of-the-mill murder tale this gripping page turner takes the genre by the horns throwing it in a totally new direction. In a complete diversion from his debut novel Andy Jarvis hits a real outfielder with this tense, contemporary thriller. A nightmare of a tale that challenges the very philosophy and motivation behind genetic experimentation and what possibly could be the 'hidden agenda' behind modern medical research. A setting on the remote west coast of Cumbria provides an eerie, atmospheric, heath land backdrop to this imaginative, twisting story of murder, corruption and the darker side of human nature; the side we all pretend to ignore...until the opportunity arises.
