On a hot summer night, back in June 1971, Mick meets Samantha Loch under unusual circumstances. A meeting between a young man and a young woman.
Set against the undercurrent of the all-pervasive violence of Britain the early 1970s. The aggressive youth culture of the Skinheads and post-Kray Twins criminal underworld.
Mick Crooke is back, and investigues to find a childhood friend of his now girlfriend, Sam Loch, but after he is slammed sideways on his motorbike, they are once again embroyled in a criminal conspiracy
As Sam came round, a stabbing pain in her chest made her wince. She was hurting everywhere. Her eyes were stuck, swollen shut. She struggled to move and pain shot through her arms and legs.
“Keep still, love. The ambulance is on the way.” She heard a man’s voice; friendly, confident and reassuring.
Sensing his strength and that he was there to protect her; she allowed herself to relax. In the distance she could hear sirens, they were coming for her. She was safe.
Ten years after they first met Mick Crooke, the mild-mannered computer wizard and biker, and his girlfriend WPC Samantha Loch are on the rail of a group of criminals.
Tasked by Greggory Lord Marchmont, the head of a small Home Office department to assist the police as they try to track down the source of some exceedingly dangerous synthetic cocaine.
This time they have their group of naturist friends and colleagues to help them.
Which is just as well, two men are already dead before they start on the trail! Which explains why Mick's Dark Creatures, that lurk in the dark places he doesn't want to see, are frightened!
