A Sharp Intake Of Death
'The first of A D Fox’s new Archie Tozer novels will leave you breathless… with excitement and with laughter. '
​
Archie Tozer is a tabloid hack with no conscience and he's just given in to a dare.
He has stupidly allowed himself to be hypnotised to speak only the truth for 24 hours.
And as a journalist with sleazy tabloid The Stand, that’s going to be very, very hard to manage.
Meanwhile, fading TV star Paula Hardell is reeling from a front page fat-shaming story Archie has written, and she wants revenge.
Lola Whittaker had such a bad gig last night she blew up a punter’s head.
Normally nice middle-aged mum Karen Carter has just snapped and taken to vandalism, trespass and theft.
All of which means DI Kate Sparrow, taking a well-earned break after some pretty dark murder cases, is going to get reluctantly hauled in to 24 hours of absolute murder.
