Solomon Gray is about to find out...
A Darkly Comic World of Crime, Debt, and Deadly Secrets.
Caught between a killer's threat and a villain's demands...
When builder Mark Poynter discovers a murder on his worksite all of his financial problems suddenly seem a lot closer to home:
Was this a warning that his debts were overdue? Suspected of being the killer and worried about being the intended victim, the murder only makes Mark's money problems worse, leading him to turn to the local villain, Hamlet, who has his unique repayment plan in mind for Mark.
When two more deaths plunge him even further into debt, Mark finds himself faced with a choice - help the police and clear his name or help the villain and clear his debt.
Set in the Medway Towns on the grey margins of criminality, where no job's too big, no dodge's too small...
“A chaotic comic caper that’s as funny as it is brutal” – The Sun
"This man knows how to bring people to life. Everyone knows characters like these can't wait for the next book."
