Ghost in the Machine

by David P. Smith

In the not-too-distant future, the world makes even less sense than it does now. Private Investigator Darryl Hughes' world is turned upside down when his boss is killed in an inexplicable accident. Drawn into a deepening mystery he's out of his depth and short of allies. It's just as well he can rely on Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker.

About the author

Dave is lucky enough to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the South Hams of Devon, but he never sees any of it as he's too busy watching Star Trek. (Only joking, it's Red Dwarf really!)
He works in the nearby naval base which severely limits the amount of free-time he has available to write. On the positive side, the naturally . . . er . . . robust humour for which such institutes are renowned gives him plenty of inspiration when he does get off his lazy backside and write something.
Now that he's completed the third "Tiger Tales" novel, he's taking a break from writing about Hollins and Co and is currently writing something darker and bit more subversive. The fourth "Tiger Tale" will be next on the list, although the recent demise of the Great Terry Pratchett has inspired a tribute: Colin the Barbarian will be written immediately after that. - Amazon bio
