“Avison Fluke is a brilliant but flawed detective. He is strong-willed and has absolutely no respect for authority, which often gets him in trouble. However, he always seems to find a way to be allowed back on the case and does manage to catch the bad guy in this very dark and twisty tale. This time, however, his success comes at a major cost which will leave you begging for more Avison Fluke.”
— Nancy • Fiction Addiction
'This is high quality crime writing' A A Dhand
The second dark and twisted thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of The Puppet Show.
Investigating how a severed hand ends up on the third green of a Cumbrian golf course is not how Detective Inspector Avison Fluke has planned to spend his Saturday. So when a secret protection unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased.
But trouble is never far away. A young woman arrives at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message: a code known to only a handful of people and it forces Fluke back into the investigation he's only just been barred from.
In a case that will change his life forever, Fluke immerses himself in a world of New Age travellers, corrupt cops and domestic extremists. Before long he's alienated his entire team, has been arrested under the Terrorism Act - and has made a pact with the Devil himself. But a voice has called out to him from beyond the grave. And Fluke is only getting started...
