Thriller Police Procedural

Small beginnings leading to grand finales, arrived at with plenty of humour, a chaotic family and a short fuse - that’s always been Hawk’s style. It’s no different in Jericho Road ...

It starts with a stolen pocket watch that allegedly belonged to Heinrich Himmler. Hawk agrees to try and find it, but within days of poking his nose in the girl who stole it is murdered. The watch’s current owner, a bad-tempered old man whose dangerous behaviour and verbal violence, make him a prime suspect, is charged with the crime...

Police are delighted to have such a straightforward result, but it seems far too easy to Hawk, too pat. He digs further, driven by a feeling that if he’d kept out of it the girl would still be alive.

And as he digs he uncovers a far nastier crime than mere murder...
