A cruel death. A macabre calling card.
A killer on a mission.


A body is found outside a church in a small Hertfordshire town. Alastair Murdoch suffered before he died. But what really disturbs DI Nathan Quarrel is the Tarot card motif adorning the body: The Fool.

Just 24 hours later, another body turns up.A different card, but from the same pack.

Unless Quarrel can decipher the meaning behind the cards and the connection between the victims, more will follow in a twisted agenda of abduction, pain and death.

Dave is a British crime writer and the creator of the popular Archer and Baines series set in Buckinghamshire's Aylesbury Vale and the gripping new series featuring West Hertfordshire's DI Nathan Quarrel.

Dave grew up in West London. In the course of his erstwhile day job he moonlighted as a nightclub bouncer, a bookmaker's clerk, and as a freelance writer for newspapers and magazines. He also gained prizes and publication with his short fiction and, along the way, picked up a First Class Honours Degree from the Open University.

His first published novels were two 'crime fantasies' featuring the personal inquisitor Lowmar Dashiel, and his first contemporary crime novel was Book One in the Archer and Baines series, The Scars Beneath the Soul.

To date, he has published nine novels and a small collection of short stories. He has also contributed to anthologies and is especially proud to be among the 30 authors featured in Noir From the Bar, profits from which go to NHS charities. He is a co-founder of the BeaconLit book festival which takes place annually in Buckinghamshire, where he now lives with his wife.

Great book from a British author. New book series, Or I hope that it will be.

A very enjoyable read, great characters with real dialogue and detailed locations, with some good police humour.

Kept my mind pre-occupied & diverted, during a stressful isolation period!
