'Makes the capital as eerie as Le Carre's Berlin' Evening Standard
Monday 10 June, end of a hot day. The city had started drinking at
lunchtime and by 3 or 4pm crime seemed the only appropriate
response to the beauty of the afternoon...At quarter to five he
felt his contribution to law and order had been made. He parked off
the high street, sunk two shots of pure grain vodka into iced
Nicaraguan espresso and put his seat back. In an hour he'd be off
duty, and in a couple more he'd be on a date with an art student
he'd recently arrested for drugs possession. London is steaming
under a summer of filthy heat and sudden storms - and Detective
Nick Belsey, of Hampstead CID, is trying to stay out of trouble.
But then somebody sets him a riddle. How does a man walk into a
dead-end alley and never come out? And then reappear - to snatch a
girl, to dump a body beneath a London skyscraper, to send Belsey a
package of human hair. The answer lies underground, where the
secrets degenerating beneath the city's sickly glitter are about to
see the light of day. Praise for Deep Shelter
'Relentless...explosive' Mail on Sunday 'The coolest cop you'll
have come across in ages. London through his eyes is as atmospheric
as a drawing by Gustave Dore... This demands to be read before the
television adaptation' Kate Saunders
