First in the Charlie Priest Series
Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer He followed this with a spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time writer. He lives in the pleasant waterside village of Fairburn in Yorkshire.
The plot revolves around a now well respected businessman, a pillar of the community everyone might say. That is everyone except Inspector Charlie Priest who has more than an inkling that he was involved in international art fraud. But if he takes his suspicions to the limit he is taking on an enemy with friends in high places.
Charlie Priest is not one to be put off by a man's status in society and when he comes up with a link with heroin, not threat, no matter from what source or how high up is going to stop him. Art fraud is one thing pedaling lethal drugs is another . . .
First in Terrific New Series
This is the first offering in a series of 12 (so far) Charlie Priest books by Pawson. As an afficionado of British mysteries, I find these among the best. The plots are multi-faceted and the main character is interesting.
Give this one a try and if you like it go on to the others in the series.
