Klappentext zu „London Calling “
'A cracking read' BBC Radio 4A good cop in a bad city . . .
Can you win an election and cover up murder at the same time?
In the middle of a General Election, someone is targeting former members of the ultra-exclusive Merrion Club - youthful hedonists addicted to excess metamorphosed into pillars of the political establishment.
Next in the murderer's sights is charismatic, ruthless Edgar Carlton, the man poised to be the next Prime Minister. But, with power almost in his grasp, Edgar will not stand idly by while his birthright is threatened.
When Inspector John Carlyle finds a body in a luxury London hotel room he begins a journey through the murky world of the British ruling classes which leads all the way to the top. Carlyle has to find the killer before Carlton's people take the matter into their own hands.

Rezension zu „London Calling “
"In this hard-bitten political thriller, the author skillfully portrays Carlyle as a good cop who genuinely struggles with the problems of his job and his lifestyle. Mr. Craig, a former journalist, writes with brutal candor about crimes as vicious as crimes can get.... It says something about the author's capacity for the darkest of humor when his description of a corpse superglued to a car can evoke a chuckle from the reader as police try to detach the body."--"Washington Times" "As the title of James Craig's "London Calling "suggests, The Clash should be the soundtrack for this close to pitch-perfect debut introducing Inspector John Carlyle."--"Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel" "Craig lards his familiar tale of revenge served cold with enough expository detail for a primer on politics and enough personal background about his hero to insure that his debut mystery won't be his last."--"Kirkus Reviews" "So addictive you won't be able to tear yourself away."--"Library Jour
