Creatures of Dust

I'm at the final stages of 'Creatures of Dust', the second in the DCI Brendan Moran series of Crime thrillers.

Here's the blurb ...

'A young detective working undercover on a drug operation goes missing and the body of a young man is found mutilated in a shop doorway. Is there a connection? DCI Brendan Moran’s suspicions are aroused when a senior officer insists on freezing Moran out and handling the investigation himself.

A second murder convinces Moran that a serial killer is on the loose but with only a few days to prove his point Moran can’t afford to waste time. Under threat from an ex-colleague and distracted by the attentions of a pretty physiotherapist, Moran must rely on his experience and gut instinct to track down the killer before the body count rises.'

Publication will be in April/May 2013 ...

Creatures of Dust is out!

Just a heads up to all you Good Readers that the sequel to 'Black December' is now available on Amazon.

This is DCI Brendan Moran's second outing as a lead character and this time he really has his work cut out. Here's the brief synopsis:

An undercover detective goes missing and the body of a young man is found mutilated in a shop doorway. Is there a connection? Returning to work after a short convalescence, DCI Brendan Moran's suspicions are aroused when a senior officer insists on freezing Moran out and handling the investigation himself.

A second murder convinces Moran that a serial killer is on the loose but with only a few days to prove his point the disgruntled DCI can't afford to waste time.

As temperatures hit the high twenties, tempers fray, and the investigation founders, Moran finds himself coming back to the same question again and again: can he still trust his own judgement, or is he leading his team up a blind alley?

Creatures of Dust is a taut police procedural set in the gritty atmosphere of a modern English town that will keep you on the edge of your seat as DCI Moran confronts not only his own fears and insecurities, but also the menacing, murderous presence known as 'The Kafir'...

The paperback edition will be available two weeks from now.
