The Price of Darkness

Description

DC Winter, sacked from the police, has joined the city's premier drug baron, Bazza Mackenzie. Adrift in a world of easy money and brutally hard-won respect, Winter appears to be in his element. Worryingly so... DI Faraday, meanwhile, is deeply involved in two high-profile murders - but when one enquiry is taken out of his hands, he begins to uncover a web of evidence with profound implications for both investigations...and for the disgraced Paul Winter. The relationship between the two men has never been easy but now might be the time to bury their differences.

Graham Hurley is an award-winning TV documentary maker who now writes full-time. He lived in Portsmouth for 20 years. He is married and has grown up children. He now lives in Exmouth, Devon.

An outstandingly good novel...The theme is individual loyalty and collective betrayal but the subject is contemporary life and its increasing brutality--LITERARY REVIEW Britain's finest and hardest-hitting series of police procedural novels. THE PRICE OF DARKNESS is Graham Hurley's best book yet...Hurley presents a world that has lost its moral compass, where selfishness, betrayal and brutality prevail, and the rare instances of decency and kindness seem almost aberrant. Readers who enjoy convincing, well-crafted thrillers won't go wrong with this one--GUARDIAN
