What readers are saying about STEVE PARKER’S BOOKS “A must-read for all crime thriller fans.” Viv “A fast-moving action-packed thriller which will keep you enthralled from page one.” “Another gripping, fast-paced and twisted caper for the most unorthodox police duo in UK fiction.” Donna “Loved the book, Clocks makes me laugh out loud.” Aileen Detective Superintendent Ray Paterson is a young and (thanks to family money) wealthy womaniser, separated from his model wife and tipped to be the youngest ever commissioner of police. He knows he’s weak when it comes to practical policing and struggles to find a place among his peers, desperate to be a good policeman and not just a “climber“. Detective Inspector Johnny Clocks is a foul-mouthed, working-class officer. He grew up surrounded by rogues and villains to become a first-class thief taker with the Met police. However, his childish attitude has short-circuited his career and he spends his days antagonising as many people as he can. THE AUTHOR Steve Parker is a retired police officer who served for twenty years in numerous high-profile squads.
