Falling More Slowly

DI Liam McLusky. freshly transferred from Southampton and recovering from injuries sustained in the line of duty. has no time to settle before he is pushed in at the deep end in a new and unfamiliar city.

Everyday objects, transformed into explosive devices by a man with no apparent motive, are being left across Bristol, maiming or killing those who discover them.

Apart from the challenge of finding the perpetrator, McLusky has to cope with new colleagues—especially his new right-hand man DS James `Jane' Austin —new superiors, new relationships ... and the prospect of having his ex-partner move into the city to keep tabs on him.
