´A giddy spell of sheer delight!´ Praise for the Constable Twitten Series, Daily Mail
In the latest installment of this funny, charming and quirky series - longlisted for the acclaimed CWA Historical Dagger - our trio of redoubtable detectives are faced with the arrival in town of an escaped criminal with an unlikely penchant for boiling the heads of policemen...
It´s September in Brighton and the city is playing host to weeks of endless rain and lashings of villainy.
A trusted member of a local gang has disappeared part way through planning a huge heist; a violent criminal obsessed with boiling the heads of policemen has escaped Broadmoor and is rumoured to be headed towards the city, while at Gosling´s department store an American researcher has been found dead in the music section.
Inspector Steine has other things on his mind - since the triumphant conclusion to his last case, Steine has so many awards and invitations coming his way that he has had to take on a secretary - but Sergeant Brunswick and Constable ´Clever Clogs´ Twitten are both on the case.
If only they could work out just who is behind these dastardly acts...
