'Gripping, clever, masterly written and reeking authenticity on every page.'' PETER JAMES How far would you go? The murder of a promising footballer, son of Brighton's highest-ranking police officer, means Detective Superintendent Jo Howe has a complicated and sensitive case on her hands. The situation becomes yet more desperate following devastating blackmail threats. Howe can trust no one as she tracks the brutal killer in a city balanced on a knife edge of vigilante action and a police force riven with corruption. 'This is the real deal. A thoroughly absorbing crime novel with characters and events that will stay with you for a long time.' ELLY GRIFFITHS 'As an ex-cop, Graham Bartlett knows what he's talking about and he certainly knows how to tell a good story. Bad For Good is a cracking debut.' MARK BILLINGHAM 'Bad For Good has everything you want in a crime novel: compelling protagonists, chilling villains and an engaging, well-constructed plot...One of the most confident debuts I've ever read.' M.W.CRAVEN 'A taut, visceral thriller that reveals the seamy underbelly of modern-day policing, rife with authentic detail. If you liked Line of Duty, you'll love Bad for Good .' JP DELANEY
