He clashes with his slippery boss, DCI Sidney, who prioritises the force’s public image. DS GEORGE (‘NOAKESY’) NOAKESDS Noakes is a slobbish, uncouth and outspoken Yorkshireman, an object of despair to his superiors.

Review "Utterly believable characters, beautifully described" Jacqueline"A beautifully crafted book coming to a resolute finish" Rob"Gripped from the start!" Curly From the Author The Case of the Missing Ballet Inspired me to take up dance as well. I always loved watching ballerinas perform their beautifully choreographed routines, but it wasn't until this murder that really caught my attention! In fact George Baranov -the man who choreoped many famous ballets- got hacked down in his basement theater where he worked on productions for The Nutcracker . It turns out both his career and personal life had some twists From the Inside Flap The team find that danger lurks in the glamorous world of ballet when a famous choreographer is found stabbed to death in a theatre basement. Great for fans of The Nutcracker.
