Meet Paterson and Clocks. London's most outrageous detective duo.
YOU WON'T WANT TO PUT THIS DOWN, PAGE AFTER PAGE OF ACTION AND CLIFFHANGERS . . .
Monday morning. 8.30am. Chris Striker has seen it all. But nothing like this. He's in charge of London's Traffic Management System. Now he stares at his screen in horror. A woman deliberately steps into the path of an oncoming lorry at Tower Bridge. Killed on impact.
At the same moment, a man steps in front of a bus on London Bridge. Two other people stare at their phones, then launch themselves into the rush hour traffic.
Just who - or what - is controlling them?
Something about Striker's account doesn't add up. Detectives Paterson and Clocks race to his flat to interview him - and find the place ransacked. A note is taped to the kitchen door. One word: Retribution.
Paterson and Clocks are about to encounter their most powerful enemy yet. A sinister mastermind with a frighteningly long reach. Are they about to be thrown under the proverbial bus?
A race-against-time thriller which will have you totally addicted.
Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, C.J. Grayson or Martina Cole.

THE DETECTIVES
Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson is a young and (thanks to family money) wealthy womaniser. He was recently widowed under tragic circumstances. He knows he's weak when it comes to practical policing and struggles to find a place among his peers, desperate to be a good policeman and not just a 'climber'.
Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks is a foul-mouthed, working-class officer. He grew up surrounded by rogues and villains to become a first-class thief taker with the Met police. However, his childish attitude has short-circuited his career and he spends his days antagonising as many people as he can.
