After a drunken mistake that could cost him millions, Cormac Dundas needs someone to get him out of trouble and save his business, and his marriage. He can’t risk going to the police, so turns to a man he has known for years.
Paddy McAlpin just wants to retire. Years after he donated his wealth and his land to the New Ascension House project, he finds himself on the edge of his team and struggling to make ends meet.
Elsewhere in Claston, Mayor Galloway watches on as a new drug takes hold of his beloved city and feels powerless to stop it. With his world crashing down around him, he knows that his old friend might be able to help but finds himself reluctant to re-establish contact.
McAlpin follows one false lead after another while the emergence of Sanguine as Claston’s biggest drug problem in decades starts to tip former police chief Galloway over the edge, inexorably pulling him back into active duty.
As more details emerge in both cases, the parallels can no longer be denied; a deadly criminal who seems intent on absolute destruction is lurking in the darkness and must be stopped. Can McAlpin and Galloway save themselves and their city before it’s consumed by The Flames That Lick At The Shadows?
An exhilarating mix of confusion, mystery and adventure that will delight fans of crime and police procedure. Paddy McAlpin has an air of a Scottish Jack Reacher about him. If you enjoy page-turning crime thrillers such as the Cavendish and Walker series by Sally Rigby, the Strike novels by Robert Galbraith, or the books of Lee Child, John Carson, and Alex Smith, you’ll love the Paddy McAlpin Series. Click the link to buy now and immerse yourself in the dark and gritty world of Claston.
