Pay Days by Bill James
The seventeenth novel in the 'savagely comic and expertly choreographed' Harpur and lles series. (quote Matthew Coady, Guardian) Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and his amoral superior ACC Desmond lles face a political and personal dilemma when they suspect a police officer of taking bribes from underworld villains, panicking Ralphy Ember and Mansel Shale. Is Nivette doing some unauthorised undercover work, or is he really bent? And where has the body of Slow Victor gone? Trussed up in the cabin of a deserted boat one minute, gone the next. Harpur starts to make the connection, but not in time to save Nivette.
'Bill James is frontrunner among those who have tumed the police procedural on its headHis prime law-enforcers have a wicked style all of their own.' - John Coleman, Sunday Times; 'This author has a distinctive style, writes beautiful prose and insists the reader makes an effort (which will be rewarded)... The suspense is almost unbearable, the latent truth uncomfortable and the result haunting.'-Frances Fyfield; 'One of the kings of the dark hill.'-Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News.
Bill James lives in his native South Wales. He is the author of a critical work on Anthony Powell as well as many thrillers and crime novels.
