Heartman
Longlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger 2015 It's 1965, and a young woman has vanished from the streets of Bristol. A Caribbean immigrant, unable to hear or speak, she is invisible to the police and lost to the biting winter night. Enter Joseph Tremaine Ellington. An ex-cop fleeing a broken heart and a tragic past in Barbados, only to find himself choosing between starving or freezing to death in England. That is, until local big shot Earl Linney hires him to track down the missing girl, casting him adrift in the murky waters of sex, kidnapping and conspiracy among the shebeens, brothels and nightclubs of his strange new reality. Navigating a hostile environment full of prejudice and violence, he discovers other women are missing, and Earl Linney's hands are far from clean. As JT uncovers the truth, each clue draws him deeper into the world of vice. Dangerous and unfamiliar, it's a world that could prove deadly. 'Excellent read. Loved the picture [M.P. Wright paints] of '60s Bristol.' DERMOT O'LEARY 'A good plot with lively dialogue and Ellington [as] an engaging hero.' THE TIMES
A Traitor to His Blood
St Pauls, Bristol, 1980. Joseph Tremaine Ellington has long abandoned his former career as an enquiry agent for the safety of teaching. But his old life draws him back. One of the very few lights from Ellington's dark and violent past has flickered out. His fiancée, Ruth Castle, is dead - leaving him heartbroken and alone, bringing up his fifteen-year-old niece Chloe. Ellington's days are long and lonely, his nights tormented by old ghosts. When the wife of a respected Baptist minister vanishes into a seamy, dead-end world of users and abusers, leaving behind both her own family and a critically fragile premature infant daughter, Ellington is asked if he can help find the woman. He was determined to keep his distance from the dangers of the Bristol night. But his inescapable obligation to an old friend keeps bringing him back like a moth to a flame...
