DI Mike Malone finds that an East End mob has set up camp in his adopted town. Businesses and proprietors are being threatened.
And, this is not the only problem that Mike has to solve. A monster is prowling the riverbanks in the dead of night. Protection is the keyword, but at what price?
Another tongue-in-cheek mystery in the popular Mike Malone series.
When, a week before the annual Flower Parade, a bull gets hit by a car, Detective Inspector Mike Malone initially thinks that it is an unfortunate accident.
However, when he is told that the bull sustained injuries inconsistent with a car accident, he realises that once again he has a murder to solve. With the crowds gathering in the town ahead of the busy weekend, Mike realises that he has no time to lose.
The investigation takes an unexpected turn when a second murder is committed, seemingly by the town’s most unlikely criminal; Mike needs his wits about him to solve the crime especially as his Detective Sergeant, Alan Shepherd, has other things on his mind. Then a local farmer’s wife goes missing.
With his forthcoming wedding just around the corner, DI Mike Malone is hoping that his little town stays crime-free.
Unfortunately his peace and quiet is shattered when the hideously mutilated body of a young girl is found. With no evidence to help him, Mike Malone and his faithful Detective Sergeant, Alan Shepherd, are stumbling in the dark.
Then, more bodies are found. Will Mike Malone find the culprits before his wedding day?
This is the eighth mystery in the easy to read Mike Malone series.
