Detective Constable Davies has two things on his min: Jemma Duval, the beautiful, black, hymn-singing social worker, and 'Lofty' Brock, the harmless old eccentric who drowned in the canal. To prove that Lofty's death was no accident, our hero sets out to do some undercover detective work on his own.

While recuperating, he is approached by a member of the local Widows Club to investigate the death of her husband 15 years before. A mystery which propels Davies into a double life of casework and moonlighting and a series of outlandish adventures. Available in October.
