    Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . . 
 
Nobody wants a visit from The Night Caller . . . 
 
When the body of elderly Mr Winter is found in his modest terraced home, still in his pyjamas, Detective Dave Slater quickly decides there’s nothing suspicious to report. The old man fell and hit his head. It’s sad, but these things happen. 
 
A few days later, Mr Winter’s home is ransacked — and Slater is forced to change his mind. This was no opportunist break-in. Someone was looking for something specific. But what did the lonely old man have in his possession that could cost his life? 
 
Detective Norman Norman meanwhile is landed with the case from hell. A burglar known as The Night Caller has been targeting the larger houses of Hampshire. And, just Norman’s luck, his latest victim is the former Chief Constable — who makes no secret of his contempt for Norman’s investigative efforts. 
 
There’s no way The Night Caller would be interested in old Mr Winter’s modest property. But then Slater and Norman uncover a connection . . . and the case takes a disturbing twist. 
 
To find the answers, the two detectives must dig deep into the past. But are they prepared for the secrets they’re about to uncover?

    A mystery in modern-day rural Ireland may have roots in World War II, in this thriller by a “fine dramatic writer and storyteller” (Booklist).   The elderly German, Karl Uxkull, was either senile or desperate for attention. Why else would he concoct a tale of Nazi atrocity on the remote island of Delphi, off the coast of Donegal? And why now, sixty years after the event, just when Irish-American billionaire Shay Govern has tendered for a gold prospecting license in Lough Swilly?   Journalist Tom Noone doesn’t want to know. With his young daughter Emily to provide for, and a new ghostwriting commission for Shay Govern’s biography, the timing is all wrong. Besides, can it be mere coincidence that Karl Uxkull’s tale bears an uncanny resemblance to a thriller written by spy novelist Sebastian Devereaux, the reclusive English author who has spent the past fifty years holed up on Delphi?   But when a body is discovered drowned, Tom and Emily find themselves running for their lives in pursuit of the truth that is their only hope of survival.   “Burke has a real knack for dialogue and phrasing.” —Publishers Weekly   “Readers . . . will be rewarded with an unholy Chinese box of a thriller. Make that an Irish-German box.” —Kirkus Reviews
