Fiction, Crime & mystery
The third book in the charming but chilling Horatio Parker series set in the streets, parks and homes of London. Featuring the affable and whip-sharp journalist Horatio T. Parker, this series is perfect for fans of classic crime mysteries. Published in digital for the first time.
When professional burglar, Albert 'Wheezy' Wallis, is found dead in a car full of exhaust fumes, with handcuff bruises on his wrists, the police assume it's a case of underworld revenge. But Wheezy's old friend - reporter for the Hampstead Explorer and secret millionaire Horatio T. Parker - is not convinced. After suffering a terrifying ordeal himself, Parker becomes more determined than ever to unravel the mystery.
Originally published under the author name Lew Matthews.
