Following a murder, a dizzying crescendo of tense, exciting action reaches a jaw-dropping climax…
Liverpool property magnate Damon Slate is found early one Sunday morning wandering out of the Queensway Tunnel, holding a red high-heeled shoe. He seems to be experiencing a serious case of amnesia.
Heavily pregnant DI Beth Krush is tasked with this apparently straightforward matter. But Slate’s wife, Iris, is nowhere to be found, and the detective suspects her husband isn’t telling the truth.
When she finds Iris’s diary, it speaks of a long history of mental illness. The morbid entries obsess over love and death.
Meanwhile, Krush’s half-sister, DI Eleanor Rose, attends a murder scene in a particularly unsavoury part of the city. Organised Crime want to write off the nameless victim’s death as part of a gang war. Only, he too is clutching a scarlet high-heeled shoe.
The detectives’ cases are clearly related but the estranged sisters would rather they weren’t. Can they put aside their differences and unravel the events of a fateful night?
Or, like the warring gangs of the city itself, will their feud escalate and tensions reach breaking point?
GREY HOOD is a dark, atmospheric and meticulously crafted noir crime novel that will have you glued to the page. It is the third book in a gripping series of detective novels set by James Davidson in his home city of Liverpool. The others are OUTCAST SISTER and ROUGH SLEEPER.
Also look out for THE OTHER DETECTIVE, the author’s terrific standalone historical mystery. All of these books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.
Genre: Mystery
