Fifteen years with the police has left him world-weary and a touch cynical. He's a dedicated police officer, although he's made mistakes, ruffled too many feathers during the course of his career - and is no longer on the fast track to promotion. No one has ever been brought to justice for the murder of his wife, and it remains a constant running sore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE SETTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the picturesque landscape of the South Downs, the Sussex seaside town of Eastbourne is packed with tourists during the summer - but it can seem pretty dismal during the winter months. Only fifty-odd miles from London, the town is not immune to the violence which occasionally spills over from the city. Pockets of deprivation and criminality exist alongside reminders of Eastbourne's more genteel past in the grand Victorian hotels that line the seafront, the pier and the bandstand. The town also boasts one of Britain's best-known - and most infamous - beauty spots, Beachy Head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE AUTHOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Lyndon has been a serving UK police officer for more than twenty years, working across a range of disciplines including uniformed ops, firearms command and as a detective in CID and specialist investigations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 380\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.95 x 7.81 x 5.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753374548256,"sku":"9781835268858","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fe8f5b8360087a6931765a552221327b.webp?v=1780018669","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/five-names-an-absolutely-gripping-crime-mystery-with-a-massive-twist-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
