New Blizzard is published

[John Dean]

The latest in the DCI John Blizzard series of crime novels by John Dean has been published.

The Meek Shall Inherit (published by The Book Folks) is the author’s 25th crime novel to be published and is available in ebook format with paperback and hardback to follow shortly, from Amazon.

In the novel, when an elderly couple walk into Abbey Road Police Station and announce, with a certain nonchalance, that they’ll be murdered in the coming week, Detective John Blizzard has every reason to take them seriously. Twenty years earlier, they were subject to a brutal assault in their home, which they barely survived.
Enraged that he’d been diddled out of his rightful inheritance, their nephew Charlie Louden had decided to take the law, and a machete, into his own hands. Now he’s being considered for early release from prison. Blizzard tries to put their fears to rest. Charlie is apparently a changed man. And surely the parole board would not make such a grave mistake.
Yet when a body is recovered following a warehouse fire, things begin to hot up in the industrial city of Hafton. Despite his assurances, inwardly Blizzard has a nagging feeling that matters are about to go south.
The Meek Shall Inherit is the twelfth standalone murder mystery by John Dean to feature stalwart crime-solver DCI John Blizzard.
