The Daley and Whetstone Crime Stories
Detectives Scott Daley and Deborah Whetstone are part of the North London Murder Investigation Team.
​
Hot-headed and impetuous, Daley's unremitting pursuit of the truth, regardless of the consequences, has earned him the nickname Suicide Scott Daley from his peers. He treads a knife edge, always trusting too much to his gut, but somehow Daley prevails, even if he tears up the rule book on the way.
​
Whetstone is Daley’s right-hand man—or woman. Mid-thirties and single, she can feel her life ebbing away. The job is everything, yet she is beginning to regret her move to Lambourne Road. Always two paces behind Daley, she struggles to make it out from under his shadow.​​
​
"Gritty and real—and more than a little disturbing."
Stark’s writing is a masterclass in British Detective Crime thrillers, action-packed and suspenseful, building to a jaw-dropping climax. Slowly building, reeling you in until you can’t put it down.

It’s Beckett’s job to sort things out, put things right. To bring back the status quo. In whatever way he sees fit. Quickly, discreetly, and without getting himself killed.
