4 total works
Nick Sharman - at last - is living a life of married bliss with his new partner (and ex-stripper) Dawn. The bad boy has settled down, and the booze and the drugs and the guns are but a happy memory - unlike his ex-wife Laura, now married to respectability.
Laura's quite capable of shattering the idyll, but this time it's serious - their fifteen-year-old daughter Judith, the real love of Sharman's life, has gone missing. The police are looking, but have no leads. Laura fears the worst.
Sharman still has his own skills. But Laura's call catapults him back into a world he should have left behind. And when he decides to right some wrongs in his own way, domestic bliss becomes a thing of the past - and Sharman, once again, finds himself playing for keeps.
The Fourth Nick Sharman Thriller
Nick Sharman is in traction, hospitalised for four months, and desperate for a distraction. Then Fiona arrives - a topless model for the tabloids who bullies him into convalescing in her flat in Camberwell...
After his last disaster-ridden case, Sharman has promised himself a quiet life. What he gets - almost the minute his leg is out of the plaster - is more trouble. Emerald Watkins, king of a black south London 'firm', has received a tip-off that he's about to be arrested after a large stash of cocaine is found in one of his lock-ups. He wants Sharman to help his nephew Teddy find out who's stitched him up.
As Sharman roams the urban mayhem of South London in search of his mystery man, he is in turn bribed, shot at and set up for a particularly gruesome murder... All in a night's work.
The Seventh Nick Sharman Thriller
Life as a private detective has proved too much for Nick Sharman, and when a chance run-in with a couple of young thugs secures him a job as a part-time barman, it looks as if he's found a promising new occupation.
Unfortunately the drug squad has other plans. With two coppers slaughtered in as many weeks, Sharman finds himself being coerced into helping track down the killers.
All too soon he is working alongside a pony-tailed Detective Sergeant with unexpected sexual tastes, and consorting even more closely with a beautiful high-class whore who likes to be spanked... never mind some dangerously unpredictable big-spending villains.
The perils of playing pig-in-the-middle certainly add excitement to life, but Sharman is now mixing with some very bad company, and even he cannot predict the scale of the bloodbath that will follow.
