I'm a writer based in Liverpool with my debut novel, Dark Side of the River currently available to buy through Amazon and all independent bookshops, including Waterstones

SHADOW ON THE WATER:

 

Dark Side of the River is an atmospheric crime novel set in Liverpool during the economic depression of the 1930's. 

The novel introduces Detective Sergeant John Bridle and his acerbic partner Detective Constable Tommy Lodge, as deprivation, desperation and murder stalks them in the streets and docklands of the city
