Operation WetFish #6

by Adam Carter

Police incompetence, 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.

When Detective Jen Thompson is arrested for trying to drown a date rapist, she is unable to reveal the legality of her actions without compromising the secrecy of Operation WetFish. Abandoned by her DCI, she faces the bleak reality that, even if cleared, her days in WetFish are likely over. But Charles Baronaire won’t allow Thompson’s career to end with a whimper and against orders intends to use all the unusual powers at his disposal to clear her name. Putting his own life on the line for Thompson, Baronaire comes to realise what she means to him; and just what he’s prepared to do to help a friend in need.

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.
