Dal Maclean

"At last.  A genuinely riveting new voice in M/M mystery. Dal Maclean is a force to be reckoned with." Josh Lanyon, Award winning author of  'The Adrien English Mysteries'_  

"Dal Maclean's first offering is a slick, intelligent procedural with a hot dash of slow-burn romance.  Stylishly and convincingly written, this excellent novel will satisfy M/M readers who like their genre served up with intelligence and verve, not to mention an endearingly flawed hero and a fully realised supporting cast. I genuinely loved it." Harper Fox, Author of 'Scrap Metal']

London...

Detective Sergeant James Henderson’s remarkable gut instincts have put him on a three-year fast track to becoming an inspector. But the advancement of his career has come at a cost. Gay, posh and eager to prove himself in the Metropolitan Police, James has allowed himself few chances for romance. 

When the murder of barrister Maria Curzon-Whyte lands in his lap, all that changes. His investigation leads him to a circle of irresistibly charming men. And though he knows better, James finds himself enticed into their company. 

Soon his desire for photographer Ben Morgan challenges him to find a way into the other man’s lifestyle of one-night stands and carefree promiscuity. At the same time his single murder case multiplies into a cruel pattern of violence and depravity. 

But as the bodies pile up and shocking secrets come to light, James finds both his tumultuous private life and coveted career threatened by a bitter legacy.
