A Perilous Last Confession

When two professional criminals and their accomplice are violently murdered, Detective Constable John Evans and Detective Sergeant Phil Smith are tasked with finding the culprits for these heinous crimes. But nothing was straight forward. Welcome to 1964 policing in Leeds. A time when old school policing is still prevalent - DS Smith being such a detective who treads a very dangerous path, often using unlawful methods to get results - but the eager, new officer rising up the ranks (DC Evans) insist on working by the rule book at all times. Sparked by Freddie the Fence's deathbed confession, the investigation opens up a complex, testosterone-fuelled world filled with corrupt officials, petty crooks and dangerous criminal minds, juxtaposed with landed gentry, stolen antiques, dark family secrets, violence, double-crossing, and murder attempts; spanning the UK and Gibraltar. As the seriousness of the investigation escalates, the police officers are attacked, one by one. Are these so-called criminal masterminds going to get away with murder and much more? Will Evans and Smith be able to work together despite their polarised policing methods? Find out in this gripping, intense and exciting historical crime thriller, packed with all the twists and turns every crime fictional lover expects.
