For the first time the four novellas in J J Salkeld's hard-hitting and adrenaline fuelled Border City Blues series are available in one meaty anthology.
Join uncompromising local lass DS Samantha 'Pepper' Wilson and her team at Carlisle police HQ, as they grapple with shrinking resources and an ever-expanding 'customer base' of the feckless and the foolish. But newly returned Dai Young, who Pepper has known since childhood, is absolutely no-one's fool. He's a vicious and very modern criminal, and his presence in the Great Border City threatens the well-being of everyone within it - Pepper Wilson and her family included.
J J Salkeld is a central figure in Britain's burgeoning 'Northern Noir' movement, and readers love the mix of humour, gritty realism and the uncompromising storylines of the Border City Blues series:
'This is an innovative series of novels. Salkeld leaves you, not only wanting more, but "needing" more of the story being told. The character development of the main character is interesting. She is a human being full of flaws and good intentions. This is a great read.'
'I have read and love all J J Salkeld books ... I have to say that I actually shouted out loud at the end of this book as I just didn't want it to finish.'
'Once again JJ Salkeld has managed to flawlessly weave another portion of this great saga, spiking your imagination with a toxicity that leaves you craving for more.'
