Dead Man's Dock

'Completely immersive... a terrific book' Ann Cleeves on The Last Days of Johnny Nunn

'This is that rarest of things, a thriller with a social conscience'The Times on The Last Days of Johnny Nunn

It’s the end of May 2016 and Detective Sergeant Max Lomax knows he’s in trouble when he sees the incident tape in Deptford. A dead man lies at the edge of the Thames, and though Lomax can identify him – a criminal dealer working out of a gallery suspected to be a front for organised crime – the powers that be seem determined to keep him out of this investigation.

Caught between institutional corruption and the professional criminals, and through death or desertion running out of allies, Max Lomax finds his options are increasingly limited. But then the involvement of a very old friend brings him unexpected hope… and means he has much more at stake.
