Deadly Tide
George East
An Inspector Mowgley Murder Mystery
Publisher: La Puce Publications
Jack Mowgley is anything but an ordinary copper. For starters, how many police officers have "ACAB" (All Coppers Are Bastards) tattooed on their knuckles? Or get booze and baccy supplies by smuggling them through the continental ferry port he is supposed to be keeping free of crime? Or dispense sometimes very rough justice without troubling the courts? For these and many other reasons, Inspector John ‘Jack’ Mowgley is a very different detective. He also finds the rules and requirements of political correctness a closed book.
After proving a great disappointment to his wife, a painful divorce resulted in our flawed hero being dispossessed of his home in Hampshire and lumbered with the crippling mortgage on a pretentious ruin in Normandy. This is why he lodges where he can in between spending his time on the job or in his dockside local pub, The Ship Leopard.
A beachcomber finds a Hermes Birkin designer bag containing a large amount of heroin, and an even larger amount of banknotes, and two arms. Meanwhile, a cleaner on board a cross-Channel ferry boat finds a limbless and headless body in a luxury cabin.
At his temporary lodgings above the Midnight Tindaloo, our hero is awoken with the grim news by his fiercely loyal assistant, drinking companion and confidante, Sergeant Catherine McCarthy. To other members of the City force, she is a strikingly attractive, clever but often prickly officer. To Mowgley she is his muse and mate Melons, but he is the only person on earth allowed her to call her that.
After opening the Trunk Murder case, Mowgley and Melons find themselves following a trail across the Channel which becomes increasingly littered with dead bodies … and body parts.
