So, what is in a name?

It turns out to be quite a lot.

Slater and Norman have been asked to look into the seemingly innocent death of an elderly man found dead in his home. Tinton Police couldn’t close the case quick enough, but Slater and Norman are soon convinced there’s more to the story than first appears. When they begin to delve into the dead man’s past they quickly find themselves plunged into a web of deceit, lies, and danger which has spanned decades.

As if that wasn’t enough, Slater is locked in an internal struggle between his love of police work and his friendship with Norman, and he’s also determined to get to the bottom of another mystery – what happened to turn high-flying barrister Jenny Radstock into a down and out living on the streets of Tinton?

Will they solve the mystery of Joe Dalgetty’s past, and will their new venture weather the storm?
