⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘The best thriller I have read this year, just wow!’ Martha B.

Meet Paterson and Clocks. London’s most outrageous detective duo.

YOU WON’T WANT TO PUT THIS DOWN, PAGE AFTER PAGE OF ACTION, DARK HUMOUR, AND CLIFFHANGERS . . .

Monday morning. 8.30 a.m. Chris Striker has seen it all. But nothing like
this. He’s in charge of London’s Traffic Management System. Now he stares at his screen in horror. A woman deliberately steps into the path of an oncoming lorry at Tower Bridge. Killed on impact.

At the same moment, a man steps in front of a bus on London Bridge. Two other people stare at their phones, then launch themselves into the rush hour traffic.

Just who — or
what — is controlling them?

Something about Striker’s account doesn’t add up. Detectives Paterson and Clocks race to his flat — and find the place ransacked. A note is taped to the kitchen door. One word:
Retribution.

Paterson and Clocks are about to encounter their most powerful enemy yet. A sinister mastermind with a frighteningly long reach. Are they about to be thrown under the proverbial bus?

Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, C.J. Grayson or Martina Cole.

THE DETECTIVES
Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson is a young and (thanks to family money) wealthy womaniser. He was recently widowed under tragic circumstances. He knows he’s weak when it comes to practical policing and struggles to find a place among his peers, desperate to be a good policeman and not just a ‘climber’.

Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks is a foul-mouthed, working-class officer. He grew up surrounded by rogues and villains to become a first-class thief taker with the Met police. However, his childish attitude has short-circuited his career and he spends his days antagonising as many people as he can.
