My latest Carillion novel, A Shower of Roses, is now available for your delectation on Amazon. Any thoughts greatfully received.
A great way to fill in the time during lockdown.
DCI Carillion is back with his most complex case to date. A priest is found tortured and dead in his chapel in the East End of Glasgow. Reluctantly dragged into the case Carillion and his team find themselves mired in police corruption, religious politics and drug dealers. More bodies turn up and a deep delve into the priest’s history uncovers a link to a Church Charity and a legacy of the troubles in Northern Ireland.
And it’s free on Kindle unlimited!!
