The Winter of '63
The Winter of '63London’s coldest winter in over 200 years. So cold, that in parts of the East End, you can stroll on the river Thames.
And on one of the worst nights of this terrible winter, only two men are unfortunate enough to be out on the streets…
Jack White and the man he discovers encased in snow, with an axe wedged in his spine.
It’s the Winter of 1963, and Detective Inspector Jack White with the unruly haircut and matching attitude, is battling ice, snow, and a cold-blooded killer.
A gritty thriller with dark humour.
Jessup.
Jessup is a broken man, scarred physically and emotionally, by what he witnessed during World War 2, and now cleans the toilets of prisoners to make money to buy alcohol. When not arguing with his best friend, Marlow, he broods in his room and contemplates suicide as the only way to escape his pain. But when he is offered the chance of a better job, he must choose between a new start and turning his back on the one person who treats him with respect: a man whose life is in danger. A dark, sweeping tale from the battlefields of France and Northern Africa to the East End of London… It is 1950 and Jessup has one last chance to turn his life around. A harrowing, gripping novel, Jessup will linger long in the reader’s memory.

Review
5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books I’ve read this year.
The Broken Detective.
It's the East End of London in 1962 and DI Jack White with the bad haircut and matching attitude, struggles with guilt.
No amount of alcohol can deaden the memories of those he might have saved...
Now, a young girl is missing, and a man's wife had disappeared.
But are these crimes?
No one appears to want the police involved.
Jack White is struggling with his own demons, but that won't stop him from investigating.
A crime thriller with a dark sense of humour.
