Persons of Interest: A DC Smith Investigation

In the peace and tranquillity of the woods at Pinehills on a Saturday afternoon, a mobile phone begins to ring. The phone belongs to DC Smith and it isn’t unusual that the call is from Kings Lake Central police station; what is unusual is the fact that he seems to be the subject of an investigation rather than taking part in one.

What can the links be between a prisoner’s violent death in another county, the disappearance of two teenagers and the highest profile case in Kings Lake for many years? As Smith and his team begin to untangle the threads, one thing becomes clear – they are dealing with some of the most dangerous people that they have yet encountered.

This, the fourth DC Smith investigation, follows on from 'Luck and Judgement'.

Perfect for fans of Colin Dexter, Ruth Rendell, P D James, R D Wingfield or even John le Carre.

What readers are saying -

"Mr Grainger is fast becoming one of my favourite authors as his series goes from strength to strength. Persons Of Interest is another excellent police procedural which starts with the murder of a prisoner, Lucky Everett, for no apparent reason."

"It is quite unusual to find an author who writes a series which gets better as it goes on, but Peter has achieved this. Having really enjoyed the first three books in this series I consider this to be the best of the lot. Well researched and written, a gripping, interesting story with believable characters."

"A highly entertaining murder mystery, spliced with kidnapping and the import of illegal drugs. D.C. Smith is a delightful character, experienced, intelligent, intuitive and never afraid to follow his own instincts. A very good read"

"This writer gets better with every book. I would put him now in the premier league of police procedural writers, with such as Rankin, Macbride, Harvey, Billingham James et al. I am thankful that the Kindle revolution has encouraged so many self publishers ."
