Summary
Someone is attacking young boys and Detective Constable Simon is eager to find out whom. But Simon’s partner is less than helpful; and the dynamic he has with his interim boss is getting more complicated by the day. To bring justice to the victims and their families, Simon has to challenge conventions and follow his instincts.
The detective: Detective Constable Simon
Detective Constable Simon joined the force in 1978 and retired in 2006. During his tenure, Simon worked in the drugs and major crimes unit, in the Serious Crime Squad, did surveillance and undercover work, and worked in anti-terrorism, organized crime and corruption. After his retirement, he ran his own investigation business for a number of years. Simon is the founder of LEAP Scotland, part of a global campaign to change laws to end the ‘war on drugs.’ He has own community radio show and YouTube Channel, and is co-host of the Crime Time Inc. podcast with Small Town Dicks’s favorite Tom Woods.
