Before Vince McNulty moved to America to work as technical advisor for Titanic Productions he was just a lost soul back in Yorkshire. Once a cop always a cop. Ex vice squad cop Vince McNulty copes with life outside the force by visiting the Northern X massage parlours he used to police. Until a return to his old stomping ground prompts a change of fortunes. Several girls have gone missing. All young masseuses. All from parlours that McNulty has visited.
When one of them turns up dead everything points to a regular customer being involved. And McNulty is top of the list.
Praise for the books by Colin Campbell:
"Very real. And very good." -Lee Child
"There's nothing soft about Campbell's writing. If you enjoy your crime fiction hard-boiled, the Jim Grant series is a must read." -Bruce Robert Coffin, author of the Detective Byron series
"A cop with a sharp eye, keen mind, and a lion's heart." -Reed Farrel Coleman
"Campbell writes smart, rollercoaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity." -Nick Petrie
"Grim and gritty and packed with action." -
Kirkus Review "The pages fly like the bullets, fistfights and one-liners that make this one of my favourite books of the year. Top stuff!" -Matt Hilton
"An excellent story well told. A mixture of
The Choirboys meets Harry Bosch." -Michael Jecks
"Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Its smart structure and unrelenting suspense will please Lee Child fans." -
Library Journal Review "This is police procedural close-up and personal. A strong debut with enough gritty realism to make your eyes water, and a few savage laughs along the way." -Reginald Hill
