With a brand new flagship, Tomsk pursues Cohen, convinced that he will sink his battleship and have his vengeance.

Why was the murder of a local merchant so vicious?
Mere days after he takes charge of the Old Gate Watch House, Captain Edrin Loft must solve a crime so shocking that even veteran Sergeant Aliria Gurnt finds it stomach turning. With no witnesses or apparent motive for the crime, finding the culprit seems an impossible task.
But Loft has new scientific methods to apply to crime fighting. His first successful investigation caused a political scandal that embarrassed the Watch. Promotion to his own command was the solution. Known as The Thieftakers, they are the dregs of the Kalider City Watch, destined to spend the rest of their careers hunting criminals in the worst neighbourhoods. After all, what fuss could he cause running down thieves and murderers in the slums?
Old Gate and this murder might be the perfect combination of place and crime to test his theories. The Thieftakers are the best Kalider has at tracking criminals, and Loft must teach them investigative skills to match.
Can he validate his theories and turn the Thieftakers into the first detectives in Kalider?
Edrin Loft will return in the future!
I have every intention of continuing Edrin Lofts story, but it’s just not on the cards until we complete the RMSC series. At the moment we’re working on book seven of that series which will run to at least twelve books.
I’ve had a couple of bad years, but I’m trying hard to get back on top form, physically, mentally and in terms of productivity. As and when I do, I might be able to sustain writing in both series at once.
Book two of the Edrin Loft Mysteries series is a work in progress. It will follow the adventures of Captain Loft, Sergeant Gurnt and The Thieftakers as they investigate the underworld of Kalider. The Thieftakers are on the hunt, looking for a gang of smugglers.
