Chasing Innocence

Operation WetFish #2

by Adam Carter

Police incompetency, witness intimidation, expensive lawyers. There are many reasons the guilty walk free of court. For Operation WetFish, a legal and entirely unorthodox department of the Metropolitan police, the courts never have the final say. Frame-ups, alerting rival gangs or simply making the bad guys disappear . . . Operation WetFish employs a variety of methods to clean up the mistakes of the courts.

Charles Baronaire lives for the thrill of making the streets safe. But Baronaire has other things on his mind. He’s stronger, faster, more agile than ordinary human beings; he can focus his mind to alter people’s perceptions, can establish command over nature’s baser creatures. And he has an insatiable appetite for human blood.

Yet some cases do not sit well even with Baronaire. When he completes an assignment to frame a suicide it leaves behind an orphaned teenager. Once the teenager goes on the run Baronaire’s conscience decides it’s time he did the right thing and heads off in pursuit. In the company of his colleague Detective Jen Thompson and her custom motorbike, Baronaire sets out to prove to himself that there’s something human left within his heart after all.

About the author

I like to tell stories. Sometimes they have to be big, sometimes they work better small. I like to write serials which can be read without reading all the ones which came before. There's nothing more off-putting than a book you can't understand! I work in as many genres as possible and read anything I can get my hands on, but have an especial love of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Alexandre Dumas. They both understood stories should be fun. Primarily I enjoy exploring characters; and the best thing about continuing fiction is gradually changing characters with whom the reader can laugh and cry and love and hate. And finally I think every book has room for humour, especially when it's inappropriate.
