Cut Throat (Detective Nash#13)- Bill Kitson- Crime
A man was convicted of murder. When being chased to be arrested he fell
over an incline and had severe injuries including to his head. He suffered
amnesia and hence couldn't deny what had allegedly happened. The police
pursued him despite his injuries and he was incarcerated. Years later he
has escaped prison and wants to prove his innocence but who is going to
believe him? Once he escapes, similar murders are being committed and
it appears to DI Nash and his team that someone is framing Craig French
but why?
This is a new series to me as well as a new author so happily stands alone.
I loved this and raced through it -to me always a good sign. There is a
warmth of character and a very different well thought out plot- one that
kept me not only interested but the grey matter active which I love.
A brilliantly entertaining read and I very much look forward to the next
in the series.

MIKE NASH
A highly talented detective, he was a rising star in the Metropolitan Police. Following a particularly gruesome case involving a sadistic serial killer, Nash turns down the chance of promotion and heads back to his native county of Yorkshire. He hopes that returning to his roots will bring peace of mind. However, although the pace of life seems gentler, the crimes prove no less horrific. His skills are tested to the limit by a series of violent crimes that threaten to ruin his plans for a more relaxed lifestyle. Nor is his secret ambition to settle down made any easier by his one weakness, a seemingly unquenchable thirst for female company. That is, until . . . ?
LOCATION
The books are set in a fictional rural North Yorkshire with a scattering of market towns, many small villages and countryside that changes from high moorland with dramatic crags, mountain tarns and sparse vegetation, to the gentler, lush agricultural land lower down the valley that is bisected by the river Helm. The town of Helmsdale is where Mike Nash and his team are based, in a sub-division of their headquarters in the larger town of Netherdale. Further to the west is Bishopton, also part of the hub our detectives cover.
