Capstan and Chalky Save the Day

Meet Capstan and Chalkie, the Starsky and Hutch of Harrogate. With two tricky cases to solve and a friend who needs their help in a profound way, life is anything but easy for these deep-thinking detectives. Especially as evil lurks in unexpected places, and neither officer realises the true power of what they are up against. It all begins when Nicholas, a suicidal man, leaves behind a diary written as an imaginative account of the last days of his life. He’s also left behind Charlotte, the woman he was in love with, who herself has known the harsh life of a homeless person living in the snickelways of York, and who ends up as a friend and ally of the detectives in their quest to prevent drugs entering Harrogate. There’s also Ronny and Lenny, a father-and-son trapeze team who become caught up in the drugs ring . . . not to mention a detective posing as a clown to break that same ring . . All in all a potent brew – with a twist that’ll keep you guessing to the last page!
