THE COMPLETE INSPECTOR PECKOVER SERIES eight gripping British mysteries (Crime Thriller Box Sets)

Looking for a new box set to while away the dark winter evenings?

Get eight complete mysteries with lots of laughs. Hours of entertainment. A quick-witted Cockney detective who plays by his own rules — if he even has any. These mysteries have humour, twists and some mad-cap plots. And they are unbeatable value.

‘Detective Inspector Henry Peckover has a Cockney accent, writes bad poetry, occasionally drinks too much, is happily married to a gourmet cook and is as shrewd as they come. As tough too, when necessary. He also is addicted to bad puns (“grease under pressure,” or “the proof of the padding is in the deleting”). A very valuable addition to the classic British detective.’ The New York Times

Detective Chief Inspector Henry Peckover really isn’t your average detective. Working out of Scotland Yard, his office is cramped and a mess of papers. But the job is about getting his hands dirty and delivering justice, not having a clean desk. . .

Perfect for those who like a gritty crime mystery with lots of dark humour.

Fans of Ian Rankin, Reginald Hill, P.F. Ford, JD Kirk, Steve Parker and Roger Silverwood will be hooked from the first page.

Setting
Crime lurks around every corner in 1980s London. A maze of dark alleyways, smoky pubs and rundown neighbourhoods. The city’s historic charm contrasts with its rougher parts, from the bustling East End to the dingy nooks of Soho. Peckover often finds himself frequenting the seedier areas to gather information about his cases. And in a city like London, crime never rests.
