Does crime still exist after the end of the world? And, if it does, how much can you get away with charging people to solve it? 

"But you ... you just saw too much. This is how it has to be. Now stay still, eh? This is gonna take a few chops."

And that's how John Doe was murdered . . .

A very funny mystery in a brutal world. Think Terry Pratchett meets Mad Max meets… umm… Starsky and Hutch or maybe Cagney and Lacey… Starsky and Lacey!

In the Orcklands, a sprawling post-apocalyptic nightmare of a city, what is crime? Who gets to decide?

Sievert and Gray – the Orcklands' finest detectors – think they have the answers. At least, enough to charge clients for their services, anyway.

When a distraught Jane Doe tells them her brother has mysteriously vanished, it's their job to figure out why – and who murdered him. But it won't be easy. Politics are afoot, and when the Orcklands' warring leaders start scheming, things get bloody. Can Sievert and Gray find John Doe and bring his killer to justice (whatever that means) before the bullets start flying? . . . Probably not. But they'll damn well shoot back if they have to.

Sievert & Gray, Detectors is the second standalone novel set in Duncan P. Pacey's Waste series.
