Dr David Field

17 Cavendish Square Dr David Field

'Gritty and unsettling ... A promising start to a new crime series.' Thomas Waugh

17 Cavendish Square. The home of the Pelican Club - a notorious upmarket brothel. Now the scene of a murder.

DCI Mike Saxby - straight-shooting and by-the-book - is called in to investigate the death of the madame, Linda Clifford.

The case throws up more questions than answers, as well as a slew of suspects.

Saxby and his team also uncover secrets which involve the highest echelons of the police - and a centuries-old mystery of a murdered witch.

Juggling issues, which concern both his family and his mis-matched personnel, Saxby doggedly continues his investigation.

As they begin to dig up the past, Saxby will be forced to face the depths of human depravity. But how far will the investigation go... ?

Recommended for fans of Mel Sherratt, Angela Marsons and Ian Rankin.
