ABOUT THE BOOK
In this third volume of the Song Cycle Quartet, Hull private detective Leo Rivers is at the heart of an inquiry into a series of prostitute-linked killings. Approached by the mother of the chief suspect, Rivers quickly understands that this is anything but an open & shut case. Not only is the suspect not involved, but several hitherto unconsidered & scarcely credible connections link the murders to another, as yet unidentified perpetrator. Heading the investigation is an ambitious, career-minded Chief Superintendent, who will stop at nothing to both make a name for himself & to destroy Rivers in the process. Set against the backdrop of the Humber & the long & violent destruction of Hull's once-cherished fishing industry, Swan Song lays bare a world of corruption, exploitation, ambition & of old hatreds & enmities fanned suddenly into destructive life, from which no one, Rivers included, escapes unharmed.
"Every bit as vigorously plotted as its predecessors. Reading Swan Song is like being gripped by a grungy, police-issue driving glove." The Mail On Sunday.
"Swan Song bristles with confrontational conversation & drips with atmosphere Absorbing." The Evening Standard.
"Edric's spare, unflashy prose creates a very effective picture of the contemporary city." The Spectator.
