Deep Shelter by Oliver Harris
London is steaming under a summer of filthy heat and sudden storms – and Detective Nick Belsey, of Hampstead CID, is trying to stay out of trouble. But then somebody sets him a riddle. How does a man walk into a dead-end alley and never come out? How does he disappear? And then reappear – to snatch a girl, to dump a body beneath a London skyscraper, to send Belsey a package of human hair. The answer lies underground, where the secrets degenerating beneath the city’s sickly glitter are about to see the light of day.
"A pitch-perfect portrait of contemporary London and a beguiling bastard of a hero" -- Val McDermid
"Makes the capital as eerie as Le Carré’s Berlin" * Evening Standard *
"Relentless..explosive" * Mail on Sunday *
"Want a readable yet beautifully crafted thriller with original characterisation, fabulous plot and superb pacing? Tick, tick, tick. Deep Shelter will keep you guessing and turning pages right the way through." * Ham & High *
"Heaven, I'm in heaven... in fact, I'm in Hampstead, where Detective Nick Belsey is based, and he's the coolest cop you'll have come across in ages. London through his eyes is as atmospheric as a drawing by Gustave Doré... This demands to be read before the television adaptation." -- Kate Saunders * Saga Magazine *
