Stanley Holden’s all screwed up. His wife has died in a car crash. But things are about to change.
Doris is screwed up. Her husband walked out leaving her with a young daughter but she still finds the time to talk Stanley out of his depression.
Stanley wants to retire and has an exit strategy. Rob a jewellery shop. Rob a bank. Make a heap of cash. Simple. But he has a problem. For the perfect crime he needs a man with a shotgun and a flamingo.
Benny Morgan has a sawn-off. A small-time crook hitting soft targets with a life dredging the bottom of the pile. He wants out. Enter his saviour, Stanley Holden.
Detective Inspector Dave Simmons is tracking Benny and his cousin but is getting nowhere fast.
After a hold-up that Stanley witnesses, Dave latches onto him and is convinced he’s up to no good. As the mystery deepens Dave keeps eyes on Stanley hoping for something to happen.
Things are not so simple though. Benny finds out who shot his dad and sets out for revenge. Will that scupper Stanley's plans? And what about the flamingo that has yet to appear?
As always Dave rows with his boss and is taken off the investigation. But there’s a bank robbery to solve, a jewellery heist to sort out and of course, don’t forget, Benny’s revenge murder. And, of course, Dave happens to be one determined cop.
A face paced mystery crime thriller that is so addictive you won’t want to put it down.
