Flight of the Penguin

A senior criminal murdered. But who would risk taking him out? A bomb plot. But who or what are the targets? A dog called B***ocks. Who does that to an animal? For Chris Rose, being a copper is just a job, marginally less awful than sales. A cynical thirty-something with less ambition than an elderly sloth, when he isn't drunk, he's really drunk. Until one night undercover changes everything... Crime boss, Samuel McIntyre, has jumped everything the authorities have thrown at him, landing perfectly on his feet every time like a smug cat. And now he has his sights set on the ultimate pay day, one that will cost hundreds of innocent lives. Tortured by a tragic past and on the run from his own colleagues, Rose must rediscover his purpose. Somehow he will have to achieve the impossible, and take down McIntyre alone. Flight of the Penguin is a dark, action-packed comedy-thriller, and the first in the PC Chris Rose series. For fans of Carl Hiaasen, Colin Bateman or Christopher Brookmyre, this book is a must-read.
