Synopsis
DI Liam McLusky, freshly transferred from Southampton to Bristol and just recovered from an injury in the line of duty, has no time to settle in before catching a major case. Everyday objects that have been transformed into explosive devices are being left across Bristol, maiming or killing those who pick them up.
McLusky must figure out who the killer is, while navigating the fraught internal politics of his new post. Meanwhile, an ex-partner moves into the city to study—and keep tabs on him.

About the Author
Peter Helton was born in Germany but moved to London in 1982, working as a translator for film and TV before relocating to the West Country. He completed a Fine Arts degree at UWE and has exhibited in London, Cornwall and Bath. At present he divides his time between his painting studio and writing in his cottage near Bath, which he shares with his cat Asbo.
Reviews
The first pages of this procedural are fall-about funny as Detective Inspector Liam McLusky, convinced he’s right whether he is or not, blunders into his new post at Bristol. He wrecks a squad car while settling a domestic dispute, then jiggers the report to say he was protecting the poor wife. He smokes and drinks too much, is impatient with coworkers, makes a hash of his love life. Then a bomb detonates in a park, and McLusky has a murderous loon to track. A gang of cycle-riding muggers savages pedestrians. McLusky’s mood darkens, and so does the novel. Helton’s rich, tactile prose conveys the taste of tobacco and Guinness and the look of dying sunlight, but it moves at a pace some may find ponderous. The novel’s pleasures are offbeat characters, sly gags, and polished wordplay, not the pulse and tension that drive so much crime fiction. For patient readers who like the all-enveloping languor of character-driven fiction, Helton is an author to be watched. --Don Crinklaw
