Product Description
Book Description
A city that refuses to die, a policeman who will not yield. A complex and captivating new hero has arrived on the crime scene. A new direction for Graham Hurley.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Portsmouth is a city on the ropes, a poor, dirty but spirited city, with a soaring crime rate. And it is home for DI Joe Faraday. Now Emma Maloney's dad has gone missing. Faraday thinks he may have been murdered. But these days, a hunch is not enough. Faraday's squad of detectives are battling with an ever-growing caseload of a city torn by violence, poverty, drug-dealing and petty crime. Who can spare the time and resources for an investigation unsupported by hard evidence? Joe Faraday is struggling with his own demons, and finding Stuart Maloney, dead or alive, develops into a battle not simply for justice, but for sanity.

Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this detective novel for a number of reasons, not least the characterisations, the credibility of the plot and the setting of Portsmouth, a British seaside town struggling against decline. The protagonist is a detective who's hobby - for once - is birdwatching, as opposed to the usual drink, women, depression or obscure American rock/jazz music. Definately worth a read.

It's taken me a while to come across Graham Hurley. Given that I knew there were quite a few books in this series, I thought I'd start at the beginning and I'm glad I did. I found it enjoyable and easy to read with a number of pointers to future books. Very promising!!!

This is the first Graham Hurley book I have read, it certainly will not be the last.From the prelude to the epilogue the author has you gripped in suspense.From the depths of despair on a run down drug infested estate in Portsmouth to the exitement of the Fastnet race the author captivates you. The plot twists and turns throwing you of the scent until the last possible moment.A truly persistant Inspector Farraday Keeps you on the edge of your seat until the final sentence.

Okay but slightly disappointed
This book is well written however I was disappointed, especially the conclusions the main character assumes which makes the story less believably. Read more
