Falling More Slowly by Peter Helton
DI Liam McLusky, freshly transferred from Southampton and just recovered from having been injured in the line of duty, has no time to settle in before he is pushed in at the deep end in a new and unfamiliar city. Everyday objects, transformed into explosive devises by a man trying to revenge himself on the world for reasons unknown, are being left across Bristol, maiming or killing those who pick them up. Apart from the challenge of finding the perpetrator McLusky has to cope with new colleagues - especially his new right hand man DS James 'Jane' Austin - new superiors, new relationships...and the prospect of having his ex-partner move into the city to study there - and keep tabs on him. Praise for Peter Helton's previous novels: 'Skillful plotting, wry humour and deftly drawn characters mark this debut' - "Library Journal". 'Helton provides breezy prose and a lively cast' - "Kirkus Reviews". 'Lively prose and a vivid picture of the city of Bath' - "Publishers Weekly". 'Helton has created a wonderfully caustic main character who careens through this action-packed debut' - "Booklist".
Peter Helton was born in Germany but moved to London in 1982 where he worked as a translator for film and TV before discovering the attractions of the West Country. He completed a Fine Arts degree at UWE and has exhibited in London, Cornwall and Bath. At present he divides his time between his painting studio and writing in his cottage near Bath, which he shares with his cat Asbo.
