Summary

The quiet city of Biloxi is hit by a series of deaths; every death has a convincing explanation, a suspect, a motive. Sheriff Logan is in charge of solving these cases, but, with his alcoholism and other addictions, he moves further and further from the truth. One of his assistants, Johnny, whom he considers a simple novice, is the only one who sees more than meets the eye. He starts the investigation with the origin of the problem, which dates back several decades... 


A boy suffers endless torment, the victim of ruthless bullying at school. He is on the brink of the abyss, but his life changes when he meets his grandfather Jerry, the notorious murderer in the county. He has just been released from prison to spend his last months with his family before cancer takes him. He breathes a thread of hope into his grandson and convinces him to take revenge on his obnoxious classmates. It won't happen today, or tomorrow, but when a long time has passed and he is free from all suspicion. It needs to be done this way to avoid being caught.

    From the author of The Girl in the Video and House of Bad Memories comes a dark comedy of errors and toilet humour.  
Wentworth is at his wit’s end. He has no money, his cat’s been kidnapped, and every time he tries to kill himself, he fails. Worst of all, he lives in Kidderminster. 
But sometimes you’re given a lifeline. For some it’s a lottery win, for others a promotion. For Wentworth, it’s an out-of-shape 50-something named Norman wearing an ‘I was on Naked Attraction’ t-shirt and scuffed Reeboks. 
Wentworth thinks he’s in luck but makes a series of progressively worse decisions and soon finds himself on the run from a gang of criminal reprobates. 
The two flee to Norman’s holiday home but there’s a local serial killer on the loose, something messed up is happening next door, and Norman is becoming uncomfortably clingy. 
Can Wentworth evade the criminal mob, shake off Norman’s advances, and uncover his neighbour’s secrets before he falls victim to the approaching serial killer?

When speaking with Detective Pratt, Heaven and Garrick are surprised to find out that Pratt was a runaway from the same extremist group when she was young.
