Sad Pelican paperback NOW OUT.
We're very pleased to be able to confirm that Sad Pelican, the fourth DI Treloar crime thriller is now available in paperback!
Set in Padstow, Polzeath and the River Camel estuary in Cornwall, Treloar faces not only a series of strangely staged killings, but also personal demons. For a long time he is the only link between the victims and with key players out to bring him down, he is suspected and suspended. How can his friends and colleagues help; will their collective forces allow his reinstatement, will they catch the elusive killer?
Sad Pelican is available from Amazon of course, but also bookshops. If you can't see it on the shelves just ask them to get a copy for you and they can order it in.

Sad Pelican NOW OUT!!
We're delighted to announce that Sad Pelican, the fourth DI Treloar Crime Thriller, is now out for Kindle.
Paperback coming shortly!
Set in Padstow, Polzeath and around the river Camel estuary, Treloar faces personal demons and decisions, as well as killers in the beautiful county of Cornwall in mid summer.
Bodies are left in 'staged' settings resembling Cornish themes but there appears to be no link between the early victims apart from Treloar himself! His detractors have a field day.
As usual there is action outside of Cornwall in the latest Treloar and this time it is provided by Eastbourne and a perhaps surprising rock concert at Knebworth.
This Treloar is more Agatha Christie than Ian Rankin, more Robinson than Billingham. A bit more Cozy than some of the earlier books in the series, but still Psychological!
