Summary

An elderly woman is burnt to death in the remote hamlet of Silver Bay. A young woman dies of an overdose on a notorious Holyhead estate. A drugs war is about to explode. Somebody knows but no one is talking.

Kelly Morgan has a social conscience and a pile of regrets. She wants to help but knows she'll never manage it alone. Her boss, Amanda Gold, cannot allow anything - not her divorce nor her daughter nor her affair with the boss - to cloud her thinking.

Another fire, another death, and the flames lick closer to home. A threat shadows all their lives. A killer is out there, but one step ahead.

False Lights is the second novel in The Gold Detectives series based along the North Wales coast.

Thrilling!


I slipped back into the world of Dara, Amanda, and Kelly as if I'd known them forever. Hamer digs under the skin and creates a virtual reality, helped by the inclusion of some emotional baggage and the way it can interfere with work related business, and this is something carefully threaded through the story. Fear and empathy for DI Gold's personal life is never far behind the terrific tension created by a drugs ring, the local sink estate and several shocking murders. The coast of Anglesey lends itself well to such dark escapades. It's rugged beauty and historic relevance is the perfect backdrop to this complex plot. It's totally convincing, full of depth and a wide range of characters, and builds to a heart-stopping denouement. And wow... what an ending! I thoroughly enjoyed it and the audio version is once again superbly narrated by Tim Dalgleish

Great story, kept me guessing, interesting characters

This is the second book in the series though you don’t need to know the the first one to enjoy this. There is intrigue all the way through - lots of twists and turns as the story progresses- and the characters are all believable. A really good listen.
Narration is really good too- makes it easy to listen. there are so many different accents in the book and all are narrated smoothly.
