Before Vince McNulty moved to America to work as technical advisor for Titanic Productions he was just a lost soul back in Yorkshire.Once a cop always a cop. Ex vice squad cop Vince McNulty copes with life outside the force by visiting the Northern X massage parlours he used to police. Until a return to his old stomping ground prompts a change of fortunes. Several girls have gone missing. All young masseuses. All from parlours that McNulty has visited. When one of them turns up dead everything points to a regular customer being involved. And McNulty is top of the list. Praise for the books by Colin Campbell: Very real. And very good. -Lee Child Theres nothing soft about Campbells writing. If you enjoy your crime fiction hard-boiled the Jim Grant series is a must read. -Bruce Robert Coffin author of the Detective Byron series A cop with a sharp eye keen mind and a lions heart. -Reed Farrel Coleman Campbell writes smart rollercoaster tales with unstoppable forward momentum and thrilling authenticity. -Nick Petrie Grim and gritty and packed with action. -Kirkus ReviewThe pages fly like the bullets fistfights and one-liners that make this one of my favourite books of the year. Top stuff! -Matt Hilton An excellent story well told. A mixture of The Choirboys meets Harry Bosch. -Michael Jecks Sets up immediately and maintains a breakneck pace throughout. Its smart structure and unrelenting suspense will please Lee Child fans. -Library Journal ReviewThis is police procedural close-up and personal. A strong debut with enough gritty realism to make your eyes water and a few savage laughs along the way. -Reginald Hill
