Summary
When it's one of your own, you pull out all the stops.
DCI Bill Slider and his team are plunged into a city-wide manhunt when the body of a police officer is found dumped in a canal. Murder is always treated seriously, but when the victim is a serving copper, the killer is going to find the whole London force on their tail – and there will be no let up until they're caught.
Colleagues say PC Peter Bentley was a quiet bloke who kept himself to himself. But as Slider and Atherton dig deeper, it becomes clear that this likeable bobby had secrets. Was he involved in something that got out of control or had something from his past come back to bite him?
Soon, the hardships of 'the Job' and the office politics at play make for an intriguing mystery that, this time, feels too close to home...
©2026 Cynthia Harrod-Eagles (P)2026 Ulverscroft AudioThe narration is brilliant! Having attempted, myself, to read a story aloud, I’ve discovered how difficult it is to make the characters come alive using the different voices and accents while making sense of the storyline.
The plot, as always, is very clever keeping one gripped right to the end. I listened to this shortly after retiring to bed and must confess to dropping off to sleep after a busy day and missing bits, ‘coming to’ to discover different characters whose introductions I missed. However, Deadly Force is a thoroughly good listen and I look forward to filling in the gaps.
A gripping storyline interspersed with humour!
