Synopsis

Cases 11 and 12 in the series. Case 11, Succession; a major London organized crime boss is killed on the street and suspicion ranges between members of his family and his competitors. As the net tightens one main suspect emerges and the chase begins for Palmer and the team through the murky London drugs underworld. Case 12, The Black Rose; the rose breeders Holy Grail, a pure black rose has been bred at a London breeders garden center and is ready to be launched at the Royal Opening of the Chelsea Flower show, but will it make it? Being worth millions of pounds in breeding rights this first plant is attracting the attention of rogue breeders with a bad criminal record who will stop at nothing to steal it, even murder. Old liaisons and suspicious past deaths in the industry surface as Palmer starts digging. The author thanks the British Association of Rose Breeders for their specialist help in writing this book.
Two fast-moving cases in the best-selling DCS Palmer series with twists and turns to their unexpected endings.

À propos de l'auteur

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Best Selling Author of the DCS Palmer Detective books. 12 out, number 13 coming soon and the factual books London Crime book, an in-depth look at the major gangs, geezers and heists 1930- today, a best seller in Amazon books Organised Crime sections and UK Serial Killers 1930- present day, just out.Barry Faulkner was born into an extended South London family of petty criminals who ran with the notorious Richardson gang. His mother who was a top fashion model of the time was determined that as the youngest in the family he would not follow in that family tradition although the characters he met and their escapades he witnessed have added a certain authenticity to his books. He attended the first ever comprehensive school in the UK, William Penn in Peckham and East Dulwich, where he attained no academic qualifications other than GCE 'O' level in Art and English and a Prefect's badge (though some say he stole all three!) His mother had great theatrical aspirations for young Faulkner and pushed him into auditioning for the Morley Academy of Dramatic Art at the Elephant and Castle, where he was accepted but only lasted three months before being asked to leave as no visible talent had surfaced. Mind you, during his time at the Academy he was called to audition for the National Youth Theatre by Trevor Nunn who was seeking a Michael Caine type actor- forty five years later, he's still waiting for the call back!His early writing career was as a copywriter with the major US advertising agency Erwin Wasey Ruthrauff & Ryan in Paddington during which time he got lucky with some light entertainment scripts sent to the BBC and Independent Television and became a script editor and writer on a freelance basis. He worked on most of the LE shows of the 1980-90s and as personal writer to Bob Monkhouse, Tom O'Connor and others. During that period, while living out of a suitcase in UK hotels for a lot of the time, he filled many notebooks with DCS Palmer case plots and in 2017 he finally found time to start putting them in order and into book form. Twelve are finished and published on Amazon so far, with the thirteenth out soon. He hopes you enjoy reading them as much as he enjoyed writing them. Faulkner is a member of ALLI (Alliance of Independent Authors) and publishes a blog about the 'geezers' of his youth, the criminals and their heists. It goes in depth about the Krays, Brinks Mat, 'Nipper' Read and all the other major heists and who 'dun 'em'. Take a look at geezers2016.wordpress.com. This was used extensively as a research tool by ITN Productions for the C5 UK Narcos series in which Faulkner appears.He also speaks about that era in illustrated talks for social clubs, WI and others. As a crime writer Faulkner is quite particular about 'getting it right' and as well as his own Barry Faulkner Facebook page he publishes a page called 'UK Crime Readers and Writers Page' which has much information about the forensic crime detection methods, police procedurals and other facts of use to both reader and writer of crime and detective books.Faulkner is a popular speaker and often asked to be on Crime Panels at Literary Festivals which he embraces and supports wholeheartedly having been invited onto various Crime Panels including the major Bristol Crime Festival.His book 'I'm With The Band' has been serialised on BBC Radio Bristol in 19 parts.He has been the subject of Corinium Radio Writer's room and Hannah Kate's Saturday Bookshelf two hour long programme on N Manchester FM, BBC Radio Bristol, Howard Lovy Talks to Authors in the USA as well as many other independent stations, book related Facebook pages and book reviewers blogs.
