My new boss, the Head of the Murder Squad, Abbey who was the dayshift supervising officer, was near pulling his hair out. He had been trying unsuccessfully, I might add, to pair me with a suitable partner. Whether it was just my abrasive personality or me coming from the undercover area where you had to think on your feet; where you worked alone usually with your nominated partner being your 'catcher'. There in the background,

Welcome to sleepy little Widow's Bay island, where nothing interesting ever happens, usually.In the midst of a violent storm which has cut off the island from the mainland, a young woman is found wandering in a near catatonic state with someone else's blood on her. It soon becomes apparent she may be the sole witness to a potentially supernatural attack. Despite the raging storm, a large area close by is inexplicably dry with the rain turning instantly to steam the moment it hits the ground.After returning to the spot later, the policeman who found the young woman comes across a blood soaked man whose clothes have been burnt from his body. At first the policeman thinks he may be the victim of a lightning strike. But on closer examination the man is found to have many deep fresh scars carved into his back. The scars have a distinct pattern to them which link the attack to the seven year hunt for a serial killer.With the island cut off from the mainland due to the worsening weather, this leaves two police officers, a doctor and a volunteer lifeboat man trapped in a storm battered lifeboat station with the only witness to the crime and thus a link to the possible identity of the killer. A killer who must still be on the island.And that's when life on sleepy little Widow's Bay takes a turn for the surreal

Humber Cars date back to 1899, when Thomas Humber produced his Humber Phaeton model. The company went on to manufacture various quality motor vehicles, but financial difficulties during the 1920s led to it being bought out in 1928. The company became part of the Rootes Group, which would also include Hillman, Sunbeam, Singer, Commer and Karrier. The Rootes brothers were keen to promote the Humber marque as a prestige brand to place it alongside Rover and Jaguar. This book takes up the story of Humber cars at the end of Second World War, looking at the Hawk, Super Snipe and Sceptre, as well as the marque's association with royalty and government. The marque's eventual demise came in 1976, and Stephen Lewis utilises an array of fascinating rare and previously unpublished images to tell the full story of Humber's post-war era.
