Sue and Jeff are lovely people. They are kindhearted, lovely, decent and nice. Everyone likes them. But Terry had inadvertently brought risk and genuine physical danger to Sue and Jeff.
They are employed in an old Victorian grocery store which, over the time of their employment there, they have grown to view with a great deal of affection and loyalty.
But they are horrified to discover that the apparently innocent grocery store is merely just a front for criminal activity.
Their discovery puts them in a quandary and a dilemma. What could they do about the situation they have discovered? What should they do about it? After all, the livelihoods of people they know are now at risk.
They need to decide where they really stand. Exactly how decent are they, as a couple?
They are confronted by people who know how to use violence to get what they want and they are prepared to use it. But what, exactly, will be the outcome?
Does nice confront nasty? And if it does, who wins? Who is really nice, who is really nasty?
There are more than enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and this is a fine debut crime novel. Hopefully it will be the first of many.
It's published by Matador at £8.99 and should be in the Christmas stocking of mystery and thriller lovers everywhere.
