[Nathan Hawk Mystery 05] • Jericho Road

Each Nathan Hawk Mystery tells a very different story yet, thankfully, the man himself stays the same: he drinks too much whisky, loses his temper too often and worries incessantly about his children... When two trawlermen are murdered, an old colleague asks Hawk to house the main witness before the trial. He knows there's a catch, but what the hell can it be? Within days, he's caught up in a huge drugs deal, becomes a likely target for the IRA and has severe doubts about the murder charge itself. That's when he realises why he's been roped in. If anyone can handle a terrorist threat, catch a murderer and recover 15 million pounds' worth of heroin, all in his stride, it's Nathan Hawk... "Evil Turn is the fourth page-turner from this unique storyteller. The writing is witty, edgy and dramatic and Hawk is an English Detective in the classic mold, not hampered by rules or procedure or an interfering boss. And he doesn't suffer fools gladly. That's probably why I like him so much... " Actor and Writer, Colin Baker (Dr. Who)
