The Concrete Sea by John Dalton
Kate Connor's body lies undiscovered in industrial wasteland for fifteen months - strange fragments of bone lodged in her throat and a sea bean at her side. Assigned to investigate her murder, Don Avoca joins forces with sad-eyed Jackie, a local PI. Together they track down gun-toting dopeheads and hapless misfits, taking their chances in a winter-dark city of subterfuge and violence. Amid prying CCTV-cameras and swirling highways Don struggles to stay afloat. Can he find escape from the dreams and voices that threaten to drown him? Or will his longing for retribution block out the truth of his own loss?
Dalton evokes a strong empathy for the downtrodden, taking pride of place among British crime writing's dirty realistsThe slick tale unfolds like a whiplash * Guardian *
