New Jack Harris novel is published
I am delighted to announce that Last Man Alive, the latest book in the series featuring Detective Chief Inspector Jack Harris, has been published by The Book Folks - my 21st crime novel to appear.
In the book, Harris is on the trail of a missing man whom he suspects of having dementia and being at grave risk, when he makes a terrible discovery. In a tent, nestled within the windy hills of the northern Pennines, lies another man. He has been shot dead.
