London Calling (Inspector Carlyle 1) by James Craig



Book blurb:  Can you win an election and cover up murder at the same time?

When Inspector John Carlyle finds a body in a luxury London hotel room he begins a journey through the murky world of the British ruling classes which leads all the way to the top.

In the middle of a General Election, a murderer is stalking the man poised to be the next Prime Minister.

With power almost in his grasp, Edgar Carlton will not stand idly by while his birthright is threatened.

Operating in a world where right and wrong don't exist and the pursuit of power is everything, Carlyle has to find the killer before Carlton takes the law into his own hands.

Here is the book trailer:



I read Craig's debut novel (out August 2011) on my Kindle while on holiday in the Far East.

The Kindle edition only costs £1 (includes VAT), a right bargain!  If you do not own a Kindle, the paperback is already available to buy in all bookshops or online in the UK.

For a debut, this one tops the list and shows a lot of promise.  Mark my words, you will like this London copper.  It is decently written, enjoyable, engaging, humorous and comes very highly recommended by yours truly.

If you are already wondering about the next one, Never Apologise, Never Explain is due in January 2012 and the third, Buckingham Palace Blues, is available in January 2013, if not sooner.

For more information, do visit the author's website or you can follow his tweets on Twitter.

Rating:  4/5
