The Frozen Contract

When Premiership star Sunday Okowu-Bello is found dead, in chilling circumstances, DCI Tom Caton knows this case is going to be anything but straightforward. And with three security guards missing the last thing he needs is the newly appointed Commissioner of Police and Crime piling on the pressure. At first sight, the victim's predilection for easy sex and gambling provides both motive, and suspects. As Caton digs deeper he finds himself drawn into a bewildering nexus of gambling cartels, security firms, the victim's Nigerian sponsors, Far Right extremists, and Far East and Russian syndicates jostling for ownership of the club. When a second body is discovered in the Manchester Ship Canal Caton knows that the killing has only just begun. The National Crime Agency is waiting in the wings, and the clock is ticking... "With this quality of writing, intelligent contemporary themes, and solid research, it comes as no surprise that Bill Rogers has five DCI Tom Caton novels in the top 20 most popular titles in the Amazon UK Kindle British Crime Fiction and British Detectives categories."
