Synopsis

Panicking Ralph is a big-time villain ― but he's a local villain ― and when his life is threatened, policemen Harpur and Iles are straight on the case.

Detective Chief Superintendent Colin Harpur and his boss, Assistant Chief Constable Desmond Iles, worry about the safety of one of the big-time crooks on their ground, Ralph Ember, sometimes known as Panicking Ralph. Yes, Ralph is a villain, but he's a local villain, and Harpur and Iles feel a kind of bizarre affection for him. And in any case, Ralph helps Iles keep the city reasonably peaceful. But now some awkward repercussions from Ralph's lawless past seem to bring danger.

Ralph is aware of this new peril and has installed a bulletproof steel barrier to protect himself in the club he owns ― but will this be enough to keep him safe? Harpur thinks not. Surely the upcoming party at the club will provide the perfect moment for a gunman to do for Ralph? The only way Harpur can be sure of protecting Ralph is to attend the party himself...

À propos de l'auteur

Bill James has been called "the Elmore Leonard of Britain's underworld" (Kirkus Reviews) and a "Master of Crime" in a mystery roundup by the London Sunday Times, which said, "There is nothing else quite like this series of police procedurals. James is concerned with the dilemmas and difficulties of policing Britain's inner cities, and he addresses these in hard-edged narratives that leave readers gasping and flinching, praying the people in these stories never come to live in their streets."

In addition to the Harpur and Iles series, James is a former journalist, and wrote for The Sunday Times, the Daily Mirror, the Spectator, the New Review and Punch.

Married with four children, he lives in Wales.
