THE NEW ESSEX-BASED CRIME SERIES FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DI JACK FROST PREQUELS.

'James Henry's writing is vivid and compelling, with great evocation of the 1980s period' Peter James


January 1983, Colchester CID

A new year brings new resolutions for Detective Inspector Nicholas Lowry. With one eye on his approaching fortieth birthday, he has given up his two greatest vices: smoking, and the police boxing team. As a result, the largest remaining threat to his health is now his junior colleague's reckless driving.

If Detective Constable Daniel Kenton's orange sports convertible is symbolic of his fast track through the ranks, then his accompanying swagger, foppish hairstyle and university education only augment his uniqueness in the department. Yet regardless of this, it is not DC Kenton who is turning station heads.

WPC Jane Gabriel is the newest police recruit in Britain's oldest recorded town. Despite a familial tie to top brass, Gabriel's striking beauty and profound youth have landed her with two obstacles: a young male colleague who gives her too much attention, and an older one who acts like she's not there.

January 1983, Blackwater Estuary

A new year brings a new danger to the Essex shoreline. An illicit shipment, bound for Colchester - 100 kilograms of powder that will frantically accelerate tensions in the historic town, and leave its own murderous trace.

Lowry, Kenton and Gabriel must now develop a tolerance to one another, and show their own substance, to save Britain's oldest settlement from a new, unsettling enemy.

This is the first of a new detective based in Colchester, Essex. The story is set in the 60's and there are some good period details.

I enjoyed the story, but found it took a bit of effort to get started with it, after that I found it gripping and hard to leave it to get with other things. I am looking forward the next book.

seemed to drag on and it never really got going. needed something more and didn't deliver.

OK but no more than that

I found that the audiobook was slightly confusing - if it was a paperback I’d want to keep backtracking to remind me where people fit into the story.
On the whole entertaining - good narration and the main characters are well built.

A little confusing

Military element made it interesting although sometimes the complexity of the story made it hard to follow.

Henry's own is as good as frost

Decent story, based in my local area with a good understanding military behaviour.
But ruined by a Childish trying to 'play the parts' as opposed reading the story.
Pleased I hadn't bought the full set, as I considered.

Childish narrator.
