This is a Rafferty and Llewelyn Mystery.With his wife-to-be's wedding budget spiralling out of control and his superintendent demanding the swift resolution to a series of muggings of local loan sharks, Detective Inspector Joseph Rafferty is anticipating a long and trying week. And sure enough, he isn't disappointed.When one John 'Jaws' Harrison is found with his skull caved in in an alleyway backing on to rundown Primrose Avenue while on his way to collect debt repayments from the residents, Rafferty, and dour sidekick Dafyd Llewellyn, imagine the case will be easily solved. Armed with a list of local debtors, they begin their investigations. But they hadn't counted on the apparent consensus of silence amongst the residents - most of whom had good reason to want Jaws dead. With the Super breathing down his neck and fiancee Abra sending his blood pressure to boiling point, Rafferty is forced to make some unorthodox decisions and stretch his intuitive powers to breaking point.
