A Death in Hampden

When pop rock star, Derek Prince, is found dead in his London mansion, the case is assigned to Detective Chief Inspector Tommy Boyle and his sergeant, DS Patrick Shea, of New Scotland Yard. Although Prince's ex-girlfriend was found walking Hampden's High Street drenched in the singer's blood and carrying the knife that killed him, there is something about the case that doesn't sit right with DS Shea. With everyone believing Prince's killer is already in custody and with pressure from above to close the case, it falls to the two detectives to make sure they have got it right.

A Death in Hampden is the third book in the Patrick Shea mystery series. Also available are Three's A Crowd, A Killing in Kensington, and Dying to Write. If you enjoy Law and Order UK, you will want to read A Death in Hampden.
