SWAN SONG

Hull. Private investigator Leo Rivers is at the heart of an inquiry into a string of prostitute-linked killings. Approached by the mother of the chief suspect, Rivers knows this isn’t an open and shut case. Not only is the suspect not involved, but also several unconsidered and scarcely credible connections link the murders to a single perpetrator. Heading the investigation and seeking out its glory is an ambitious, career-minded Chief of Police, who will stop at nothing to make a name for himself. Set against a backdrop of the Humber and the long and violent destruction of Hull’s once-cherished fishing industry, Robert Edric reveals a world of exploitation and ambition in an extraordinarily gripping piece of contemporary noir.
