Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . .
Please note, this book was previously published as Florence.
Nobody wants a visit from The Night Caller . . .
When the body of elderly Mr Winter is found in his modest terraced home, still in his pyjamas, Detective Dave Slater quickly decides there’s nothing suspicious to report. The old man fell and hit his head. It’s sad, but these things happen.
A few days later, Mr Winter’s home is ransacked — and Slater is forced to change his mind. This was no opportunist break-in. Someone was looking for something specific. But what did the lonely old man have in his possession that could cost his life?
Detective Norman Norman meanwhile is landed with the case from hell. A burglar known as The Night Caller has been targeting the larger houses of Hampshire. And, just Norman’s luck, his latest victim is the former Chief Constable — who makes no secret of his contempt for Norman’s investigative efforts.
There’s no way The Night Caller would be interested in old Mr Winter’s modest property. But then Slater and Norman uncover a connection . . . and the case takes a disturbing twist.
To find the answers, the two detectives must dig deep into the past. But are they prepared for the secrets they’re about to uncover?
This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
DS David Slater is a youngish (not quite forty, thank you!) copper who knows his quiet corner of Hampshire like the back of his hand. The ladies can’t resist his strong, silent manners and bestubbled charms. But among the top brass, he’s persona non grata. Smooth-talking is not one of Slater’s many strengths. And so, he ends up unfairly blamed for a botched operation in the city. Will his unlikely new partnership with DS Norman Norman be the saving of his career?
Before he moved to Wales, DS Norman Norman — so good they named him twice — once patrolled the twisty streets of Tinton. His shabby dress sense and aversion to the gym may raise more than a few sniggers among the younger recruits down in Tinton. But what he lacks in fitness, he more than makes up for with hard-won experience and crime-solving nous. Will they be enough to win him the respect of his new partner?
