Synopsis

The ancient city of Chester, Friday night, and the weekend starts here. High summer, skimpy fashions, short skirts, tight jeans. It’s a sultry night, and the town’s relaxed.

It’s 11pm and the pubs are closing. The band has just finished playing; packing their instruments away, but the night is young.

A young man enters the still crowded bar. Walks up to the small stage. Pulls out a handgun and empties four shots into the lead singer. One, two, three, four.

He waves the gun at the stunned and shocked crowd. Yelling, hollering and screaming, they part like the Red Sea, and he walks through the valley of death and out into the night, laughing as he goes.

The sound of sirens floats across the humid city. Inspector Walter Darriteau is soon on the scene. He lives close by, and the truth is, he’d much rather be at work than lying in bed. The local crime reporter turns up too, Gardenia Floem, smart clothes, pleasant woman, nice teeth.

‘Is this drugs related?’ she asks.

‘How the hell do I know? Get her out of here!’

So begins David Carter’s Walter Darriteau murder mystery, “The Sound of Sirens”, but is it drugs related, Walter ponders, and if it isn’t, what’s it all about? He doesn’t know it, but this will be the first of three dreadful killings.

This is David’s eighth book, and a compelling read, available as a paperback, or on Kindle.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

About David’s Books: “The Sound of Sirens” features Inspector Walter Darriteau who is based in Chester in the north-west of England. You might also be interested in another Inspector Walter Darriteau murder mystery, and if you are please do check out “The Murder Diaries Seven Times Over”. If modern contemporary love stories are more your scene then you might like to take a look at “The Life and Loves of Gringo Greene” which is David’s “For Adults Only” book. For older children you might wish to consider “Drift and Badger and the Search for Uncle Mo” which tells the story of an orphaned deer fawn lost in the forest. And combining World War Two, older children’s adventure, and a murder mystery, you might be interested in David’s first fictional book, “The Fish Catcher” which tells the story of the Fissleborough sisters who are evacuated from London to avoid the blitz during the war. David’s mother was an evacuee and some of her stories inevitably find their way into this book.
