Lies That Blind

How would the police respond to a mass shooting? 

Do you want to hear the voices of negotiators, victims, killers?

Then don’t miss this. 

A breath-taking novel from a detective who spent almost 30 years in the CID (Criminal Investigation Department). He led high profile investigations, lectured on Forensic Psychology and studied with retired members of the FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit (think Thomas Harris' 'Silence of the Lambs'.) 

Description

A mass shooting brings bloodshed to a quiet suburban street, setting DCI Sam Parker on the deadly trail of vengeful gangsters, dirty cops and a sinister crime boss intent on making his moves unseen.

In the blistering fourth instalment of the Dark Tides thriller series, Sam learns justice can be hard to find when truth hides in the shadows.

Perfect for fans of Damien Boyd, Angela Marsons, M A Comley or Helen H Durrant.

The Detective

DCI Sam Parker: a widow who loved sailing before her husband was lost at sea, is a modern thinking senior investigating officer who is not afraid to back her judgement.

Her Deputy

D/Sgt Ed Whelan: an ‘old school’ detective who doesn’t always agree with the politically correct nature of modern policing. Fiercely loyal to Sam.

The Place   

Seaton St. George is a fictional seaside town on the north east coast located between Newcastle and Teesside: depravation and crime are bedfellows; the work of Eastern Police challenging. 

From old fishermen’s cottages to newer housing estates, secrets are hidden behind every door.

The Author

Tony Hutchinson was a police officer for thirty years, the vast majority of his service spent in the CID. By the time John Darwin faked his own death and the ‘Canoe Man’ case file hit Tony's desk (an investigation that catapulted him to international attention) he was looking at back on a career involving over 40 murder investigations. As a retired Detective Superintendent, Cleveland Police’s former Murder Squad Head brings his own inside knowledge of police procedure to bear on his fiction.
