Still Life With Hammer

Sam Rigby is back February 1971, and rival hoteliers Lou Golding and Alice Haig are locked in a bitter feud. When the peaceful lives of Alice's winter residents are rocked by a savage murder, only private eye Sam Rigby can save the day. Ably hindered by his lovelorn assistant Matt, and thwarted at every turn by DI Harry Hargreaves of Southaven Police, Sam must fight a lone battle to reveal the truth. But then he receives an unexpected offer, and his integrity is tested as never before...Suspenseful and fizzing with humour, this sequel to the acclaimed Late Swim brings a fresh helping of toil, trouble and boil-in-the-bag kippers for Southaven's most hapless sleuth. "Compelling and consistently funny" - Lorna Scott Fox on Late Swim
