A corrupt property developer thrown to his death from a cliff. French Nazi goons staging mock executions on behalf of a crazed Arab millionaire. A blackmailed politician facing public humiliation via Youtube. All is not well on the island of Jersey. It’s down to one man to put things right. Unfortunately that man is Marigold Dark, part-time private investigator, occasional buffoon and full-time drunk. Setting out to discover the link between these events and the shadowy figures that are threatening his daughter, our hapless detective soon finds himself a wanted man. Now Marigold must call upon a rogues' gallery of contacts to piece together the details of his latest case and confound his enemies, all the while battling the greatest threat of all...himself. 'A racy dystopian thriller,' Oliver Bullough, The Guardian 'A wonderful book,' Kris Marshall Death in Paradise 'A very funny, tense and surprisingly moving read...impossible to put down,' David Sellars
