Description
Meet ex-detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and
...
banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . .
Please note, this book was previously published as The Invisible Man.
Is this the end for Slater & Norman Investigations?
They haven’t had a case in weeks. Slater fears it’s time to admit defeat, shut up shop and manfully retreat to the pub. But he never reckoned on one last client.
Distressed mum Lizzie Becker. One look at her tear-stained face and Slater knows his pint will have to wait.
Lizzie is crying over a text message, from her teenage daughter, Lilly. Slater can’t understand why. Until Lizzie explains . . .
Lilly can’t possibly be the sender. Lilly is dead.
Two years ago, they pulled her body from the wreckage of a flashy sports car. Everyone says Lilly stole it from her boyfriend’s dad, for a cheap thrill.
But Lizzie knows that can’t be true. That’s not the girl she raised.
Now someone’s stirring up the past — and a veritable hornet’s nest of secrets and lies to boot.
Slater and Norm will stop at nothing to get Lilly’s grieving mother the answers she deserves. But the road to the truth is twisty, with danger lurking behind every hidden corner.
Can they catch the mystery messenger — and Lilly’s elusive boyfriend — before the body count rises again?
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
DS David Slater is a youngish (not quite forty, thank you!) copper who knows his quiet corner of Hampshire like the back of his hand. The ladies can’t resist his strong, silent manners and bestubbled charms. But among the top brass, he’s persona non grata. Smooth-talking is not one of Slater’s many strengths. And so, he ends up unfairly blamed for a botched operation in the city. Will his unlikely new partnership with DS Norman Norman be the saving of his career?
Before he moved to Wales, DS Norman Norman — so good they named him twice — once patrolled the twisty streets of Tinton. His shabby dress sense and aversion to the gym may raise more than a few sniggers among the younger recruits down in Tinton. But what he lacks in fitness, he more than makes up for with hard-won experience and crime-solving nous. Will they be enough to win him the respect of his new partner?
