The Daisy Chain

Corruption in the Metropolitan Police Force, protection rackets, murder most foul... This is London at its worst, and also its best. Inspector Dawkins of the Yard, in his youth known as The Artful Dodger, is a wily policeman with more than a trick or two up his sleeve. But then, he does have a rather 'colourful' past and some 'interesting' contacts to call upon. During the course of investigations into a number of brutal murders, Dawkins will need to utilise all of his streetwise abilities and employ the skills of his closest friends if he is to help his one time benefactor, Ebeneezer Scrooge, evade the hangman s noose. If you have ever wondered what happened to some of Dickens' larger than life characters, then wonder no more. 'The Daisy Chain' brings them to life, taking up their stories from where they left off and weaving them together in a completely plausible and inventive tale. But this isn't just a tale of what happened next - this is a rich, twisting tale of moral courage, violent criminals, political intrigue and double-crossing, which will keep you guessing right up to the very end and never fails to surprise.
