He hates crime. All Inspector Dermot Dervish likes less are early mornings, his boss, and any technology from the last thirty years. But he won’t need any of these. Armed with his trusty notebook, razor wit, and an assistant who’s trying to pretend she’s not a traffic warden, only Dermot can solve a series of shocking and intriguing murders, and bring the city’s criminal scum to justice.

Or let them go if he thinks they’ve got a good enough reason.
