Graham Hurley has recreated Portsmouth as the obvious locale for a series of gritty and impassioned crime novels. His Portsmouth is a city of extremes; the Paulsgrove council estates, the multi-million pound development on Gun-Wharf. Once the Naval Dockyards were the home of Britain's global power, now HMS Victory is a tourist attraction. It's a city riven by poverty and drugs but it is also fiercely spirited. Its police force is fighting a hopeless containment battle against a tide of crime. D/I Faraday maintains a principled stand undermined by his cynicism, his ineptness with women and his difficult relationship with his deaf son. D/S Winter is a scam-artist, a sociopathic loner, a policeman constantly on the verge of corruption. They are bonded by their ability to get results.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
