DI Charlie West and irrepressible ex-detective James Munro return in a new murder mystery

When a sheep farmer boards a stricken fishing vessel stranded on the shore, he is in for b>the shock of his life. Within lies the body of a man who is, for all intents and purposes, inside out.

The police find a filleting knife in the hold, covered in the victim’s blood. DI Charlie West arrives on the scene, and given the obvious disembowelment, immediately determines that a murder has taken place.

The boat is otherwise abandoned, but detectives soon trace the owner, a man well known to the police. Cocksure, he has a clear alibi but after some less-than-delicate probing, his story springs a leak.

However, the investigation is thrown into confusion when a local girl goes missing. What is the connection to the gutless sailor? Or the arrogant boat owner?

Set in a stunning location, spiced with humour and with a fair sprinkling of clues for the avid mystery solver, you’ll be glued to the pages of this gripping whodunnit.

HUBRIS is the eleventh book to feature retired detective James Munro and his protégé DI Charlotte West. It represents something of a departure from previous books in that West plays a central role. But Munro, with his sage advice and hearty appetite for the finer things in life, is never far away.
