Items related to Killing the Fatted Calf (A Gregory Summers mystery)
Superintendent Gregory Summers is co-operating with the National Crime Squad on Operation Cuckoo: intended to crack down on illegal immigrants. The Thames Valley is a prime target for modern day slave traders, who make the unfortunate 'slaves' pay their own fare to the promised land. Meanwhile, Antony Lucas tracks down wealthy widow Elise Weissman, the mother who gave him up for adoption thirty years ago. He is cautiously welcomed into the fold, but it isn't long before an abusive past and family secrets threaten to destroy the family. A spiral of violence and devastation ensues, violence that must end in death for one member of the family. But whose motive was strongest? And where does the sudden death of an elderly man in his luxury hotel room fit into the picture? Gregory Summers is drawn into the midst of the investigation and must try to piece together the facts - a task that gets more difficult every day...

Review:

Deadly Pleasures 'One of the secrets of a successful police procedural is the delicate balance between the cop and the crime... Susan Kelly maintains the balance beautifully.' Chicago Tribune 'The Lone Traveller is an assured and chillingly plausible debut story for Kelly's new detective... I sincerely hope that this will be the first of many cases for Gregory Summers.' Sherlock Holmes Magazine
