Newly appointed to the Major Crimes Team, DI Joe Faraday investigates the brutal murder of a local prison officer, Sean Coughlin and begins to build a disturbing picture of the dead man’s life. With few friends and many enemies, Coughlin appears to have been a murder waiting to happen. Was the killer a recently released prisoner with a homicidal grudge? Or do the clues lead to Coughlin’s past? Deadlight forces Joe Faraday to step outside the investigative process and explore a wider violence not just the darkness cast by an evil man, but the ever-deepening shadows of a half-forgotten war.

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.
Faraday and Winter make an excellent detective pairing, and Portsmouth is a good locale for a crime series. In their latest adventure, Faraday has been promoted to the elite Major Crimes Unit, and is investigating the murder of a prison officer called Coughlin. He was an ex-petty officer in the Royal Navy, and served on a frigate in the Falklands war, which was sunk with the loss of 19 hands. As a prison officer, he was universally loathed by everyone, and perhaps he was killed by a released prisoner with a grudge. It is an intriguing mystery, and makes for a gritty tale told with plenty of verve.
