Synopsis
For years Detective Sergeant Jack Stallworthy has taken advantage of the extra perks available to him. He's worked hard; he's put away the criminals. He just wants to please his wife Lily--who dreams of retiring on Ko Samui, an island paradise.
Jack is offered a deal he finds hard to refuse: first-class living in Ko Samui in exchange for just one file at police headquarters. As Jack tries to finish the deal, he falls deeper and deeper into crime. And soon there's no turning back. . .

From AudioFile
Golden Dagger Award winner Keating is best known for his Inspector Ghote (Bombay Police) series, but he's written widely. This book is set in England and is seen from the eyes of a corruptible police detective. Vincent Brimble reads with an introspective, lower-middle-class British voice that is often rough and almost crude. The minor characters are distinguished primarily by accent and are nicely done, particularly the Jamaican police clerk and the Scottish detective. Keating is a low-key author, and this is more Ruth Rendell than Mickey Spillane. Brimble captures the common man's perspective of the tale.
