About this book

A retired detective arrives in Melton Mowbray, a town famous for its pork pies, and discovers something that piques his curiosity. Beneath the town's respectable surface lies a lucrative criminal operation conducted in plain sight. When Albert Smith witnesses evidence of this scheme, those running it decide he must disappear—permanently. Albert, however, spent decades as a detective taking down criminals and remains sharp. His presence in town sets off a chain of events that leads to chaos. This series contains no profanity, graphic violence, or explicit content and is suitable for all ages.
