Synopsis

Clever, humane, affectionate and realistic crime writing at its best.  Maxim Jakubowski.  Introducing a unique and unorthodox crime solving duo - ex Met DI Jim Domino, and his inquisitive six-year-old grandson, Danny.  When a woman is found unconscious on a ping-pong table in Peckham's Warwick Gardens, it looks like a case of mistaken identity. Why would anyone want to injure this popular local mum of six? But Jim Domino, retired CID detective turned private eye, keeps asking questions. As the crime escalates to murder, Domino's investigations take him to the leafy Thames Valley, and plunge him into a dark world of ruthless people-traffickers and drug dealers. How might these sinister activities be linked to the Peckham murder? Assisted by sharp observations from his six-year-old grandson, Danny, Domino finds that important clues can come from unexpected sources.  The Lady in the Park is about the good in most people, and about love, grief and childhood. The first in an exciting new crime fiction series, it weaves a diverse cast of characters into a twisty immersive plot that will leave readers craving for more investigations featuring the inimitable Jim Domino and his young sidekick, Danny.

    Karen Hartley is a charismatic agent in the British Secret Intelligence Service. She and her fellow SIS agent, Fiona Mossop, are assigned to investigate and expose a powerful syndicate operating between England, South Africa and Far Eastern Countries engaging in illegal poaching of rhino horns, elephant tusk and lion bones "sets". 
    Mark Warner, a South African banker, wildlife conservation writer and documentary maker is also a SIS agent in Africa, and becomes involved when his daughter Annabelle suggests recruiting Karen Hartley to investigate and hunt down the heads of the syndicate after his wife, a passionate ecologist and anti-poaching campaigner, is murdered whilst researching the slaughter of black and white rhino in the Kruger National Park. 
    The syndicates use poor local Mozambican males who risk their lives being lured over the border and with machete in hand, to hack the horn off rhino be it dead or alive, revealing the lengths they will go for sexual gratification, power and greed, pushing the price of rhino horn to an alarmingly high commodity, more expensive than gold, diamonds and heroin.

    Someone will stop at nothing to prevent Ophelia walking down the aisle.
