Body Breaker Summary

Body Breaker by M. W. Craven

'This is high quality crime writing' A A Dhand

The second dark and twisted thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of The Puppet Show.

Investigating how a severed hand ends up on the third green of a Cumbrian golf course is not how Detective Inspector Avison Fluke has planned to spend his Saturday. So when a secret protection unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased.

But trouble is never far away. A young woman arrives at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message: a code known to only a handful of people and it forces Fluke back into the investigation he's only just been barred from.

In a case that will change his life forever, Fluke immerses himself in a world of New Age travellers, corrupt cops and domestic extremists. Before long he's alienated his entire team, has been arrested under the Terrorism Act - and has made a pact with the Devil himself. But a voice has called out to him from beyond the grave. And Fluke is only getting started...

Body Breaker Reviews

Praise for M. W. Craven:
Dark, sharp and compelling -- Peter James
Fantastic -- Martina Cole
A thrilling curtain-raiser for what looks set to be a great new series -- Mick Herron
A powerful thriller from an explosive new talent. Tightly plotted, and not for the faint-hearted! -- David Mark
A book that shines with tension, wit and invention -- William Shaw
Satisfyingly twisty and clever and the flashes of humour work well to offer the reader respite from the thrill of the read -- Michael J. Malone
Mike Craven is a forceful new voice in British crime fiction -- Caro Ramsay
Washington Poe is a name destined to be spoken by crime fiction enthusiasts everywhere: Britain's answer to Harry Bosch. The Puppet Show is a wickedly, twisting and turning, mystery that will have readers breathlessly turning the pages until the final shocking conclusion -- Matt Hilton
A brilliant start to what promises to be a fantastic series; get it now or kick yourself for missing out -- Graham Smith
I cannot recall the last time I binge read a novel in 36 hours . . . truly mind-blowing -- A. A. Dhand
I loved this book! -- Jo Jakeman
Fluke is a magnificent creation . . . Highly entertaining reading . . . Very pacey, hugely interesting, never a dull moment and with characters and a conclusion I could enjoy * Mystery People *
Dark, thrilling and unputdownable with sharply drawn characters that stride off the page -- Victoria Selman
A fantastic read which draws you in from the first line. Its narrative is written with such skill that I challenge any reader to deny its siren call . . . Craven's plotting kept me guessing . . . With sumptuous prose, great characters and a labyrinthine plot, Body Breaker has everything you need in a police thriller * CrimeSquad *

About M. W. Craven

M. W. Craven was born in Carlisle but grew up in Newcastle, returning after 31 years to take up a probation officer position in Whitehaven, eventually working his way up to chief officer grade. Sixteen years later he took the plunge, accepted redundancy and became a full-time author. He now has entirely different motivations for trying to get inside the minds of criminals. His first novel featuring Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw, The Puppet Show, was published by Constable to huge acclaim, and it has since won the CWA Gold Dagger Award and been shortlisted for the Amazon Publishing Readers' Awards: Best Crime Novel, the Goldsboro Glass Bell Award and the Dead Good Reader Awards. M. W. Craven lives in Carlisle with his wife, Joanne. When he isn't out with his springer spaniel, or talking nonsense in the pub, he can usually be found at punk gigs and writing festivals up and down the country.
