Gone for a Burton

Simon Clark

Imagine.

A January night in the Midlands. Burton-upon-Trent in 1959. Britain is stirring, ready to exchange post-war austerity for the Swinging Sixties. Burton, with its jumble of brew-houses, kilns, maltings, towers and chimneys, is still beer capital of the world. It's cold. Windy. There's a body.

Reuben Salt, urbane boss of Brunton's brewery, calls it in. The DI hands the murder to DC Shobnall. Who was he? Who killed him? Why?

Alan Shobnall loves policing, loves his wife, dreams of a family. First, he must tread in the footsteps of the dead man. Uncover crimes with long and dirty roots. Endure the stink of corruption. And face death on a bleak, dark canal-side.

Come with him..........
