(2019)(The fifth book in the DCI Jack Callum Mystery series)
A novel by Len Maynard
DCI Jack Callum Mysteries - Book Five
"A series to savour - and hope for more. Maynard’s action-packed crime thrillers are brimming with authentic characters, practices and settings from a bygone era." Paul Walker, author of State of Treason
1960
Out walking his dog, Chief Superintendent Henry Lane, the head of the Welwyn and Hatfield police station, is attacked and savagely murdered.
Lane’s second in command, DCI Jack Callum, an ex-Metropolitan Police Officer who has moved himself and his family from London, to the less violent streets of rural Hertfordshire, has the investigation taken out of his hands to ensure objectivity.
The case is passed to Superintendent Albert Beckett, a veteran Scotland Yard detective who begins his own inquiry.
Why was Lane killed?
As the investigation continues it becomes clear that the more secrets Jack and Beckett uncover, the denser the web of intrigue gets.
Familiar names, like that of financier James Lovegood, and the gutter-press journalist, Neil Clarke seem inextricably linked to Lane’s murder.
When an attempt is made on Clarke’s life and one of Jack’s junior officers sustains a near-fatal injury, Jack and Beckett decide it’s time for the gloves to come off.
It’s time to uncover the truth about the sins of the fathers.
Len Maynard is a crime and horror novelist. He also writes short ghost stories and supernatural fiction. He has been writing for over 40 years and lives in North Hertfordshire.
