Heartbreaker

’Gough has emerged as a master in the hard-boiled tradition’ - Ottawa Citizen

Death waits for no one…

Jack Willows and Claire Parker are investigating the mysterious death of Zagros Galee, a local estate agent.

Discovering that he was widely disliked, they are swamped by a huge number of potential suspects.

His wife?

Has his love of work and other women pushed her to murder?

His colleagues?

His cash versus his success doesn’t add up. Have they protected their own commission by ridding themselves of this conman once and for all?

Or is there an aspect of his life hidden from the world that explains his recent windfall?

Mixed up in this mystery are small time criminals Shelley and Bo.

Shelley picks pockets to maintain his lavish lifestyle, whereas Bo is involved in larger fraud operations.

After breaking into Willows’ car, Shelley is now being tracked down by the detective.

Closing in on Shelley whilst pursuing the murderer, Willows cannot shake the feeling that the two are somehow connected.

Will he trust his instincts and continue in this pursuit?

Or will Shelley and Bo be able to disappear behind the cloud caused by the unravelling of a much larger criminal organisation at work?

Heartbreaker is a fast paced, gripping and fantastically written crime novel. Full of clever turns and unpredictable plot twists, it will keep you guessing until literally the last page.
