About the Book

Looking for a classic murder mystery from an acclaimed crime writer?

Discover Eric Ward, policeman turned lawyer. This beautifully told story, from a time before smart phones and DNA testing, will have you gripped from start to finish.

Please note this book was first published as THE SALAMANDER CHILL.

"A novel of depth and craftsmanship refreshing in this genre." Publishers Weekly

"Mr Lewis is a master of his craft and he pilots Ward through the shoal waters of business chicanery and physical violence with a sure hand." Somerset Express

DARK DEALINGS IN THE CITY OF LONDON

Eric Ward is still uneasy on the board of merchant bankers Martin & Channing. Their defence against a hostile takeover is pushing the limits of the law.

But Eric soon has problems nearer home: his wife's colleague is charged with the murder of his fiancée in his London flat. He asks Eric to represent him.

Eric discovers some very interesting facts about the dead woman.

Then Eric is called back to London to deal with the takeover gone wrong.

A GRIPPING, WELL-CRAFTED MYSTERY THAT WILL HAVE YOU COMPLETELY ABSORBED

He finds his separate roles intertwining. Can he save his reputation and expose the dark side of London's financial heart?

Perfect for fans of Peter James, Ruth Rendell, P.D. James and Peter Robinson.

THE DETECTIVE
Eric Ward is forced to retire from the police when he discovers he suffers from glaucoma but qualifies as a solicitor (lawyer) and sets up his practice on the Quayside in Newcastle, where he deals with the seamier side of the law. When he marries a wealthy young woman she attempts to persuade him to settle in Northumberland and work with wealthier clients but he stubbornly refuses to give up his criminal practice in Newcastle. Although she draws him into the world of high finance he still insists on continuing at the Quayside - which causes tensions within his marriage, and lead to unintended consequences.

This fast-paced mystery will have you enthralled from the start. Set in England in the 1980s, this is the seventh book to feature Eric Ward. More coming soon.
