‘Get into the town of Barnard Castle and find Ollie Perkins. But don’t ask anyone. And don’t say his name.’
‘Who the f*** is Ollie Perkins?’
‘Classified. Oh, and do hurry up.’
Mike Humber has been sent to the town of Barnard Castle, pop. 5,000, with one seemingly simple task.Find Ollie Perkins.
There’s just one problem.
Mike isn’t allowed to ask anyone about him. He can’t say his name. He doesn’t know what he looks like. So Mike takes a job as a security guard at a highly secure data facility on the edge of town and waits.
Then things start happening.
Lies get told. A body turns up. Foreign agents begin circling. Mike realises he's being watched and that he's not the only one looking for Ollie Perkins.
The pressure soon mounts. Mike needs to find the target before more people die.
BAITED is the third Mike Humber novel. A very different kind of British crime novel: twist-loaded, contemporary, darkly funny, unpredictable and built around an ex-detective who survives largely through instinct, guile and an increasingly questionable relationship with authority.
