Product Description

In This Bright Future

Author: Peter Grainger

Format: Paperback

Get ready to be hooked by the fifth thrilling and atmospheric murder mystery from the million-copy-selling crime writer: DC Smith is recuperating. Then an unexpected call sends him to Belfast...

'Pitch-perfect crime writing.' — Daily Express
'Peter Grainger's books are addictive.' — Criminal Element

'Had me gripped from the very start to the extremely satisfying ending.' — Reader Review
'Where has Peter Grainger been my whole life?' — Reader Review
'I read a LOT of murder mysteries and this series is one of the best!' — Reader Review

Two weeks of rest and recuperation - that's what the doctor ordered. Detective Sergeant DC Smith could listen to some music, make some of his own and maybe even catch up on his reading; he is almost looking forward to it. And then there is a knock on the door.

It's only his next-door neighbour but it is the beginning of a sequence of events that will bring him face to face with some of the darkest episodes and the most dangerous people from his own past. Smith has done countless investigations, but this time it's personal.

'Ensconced in Kings Lake, in the company of Smith and his team, I didn't want to leave.' — Financial Times
'The books are comforting, the writing is subtle and the plots are gripping.' — The Times
