Description

"Believable dialogue... well written prose... fast pace... a thrilling ending."

When a noted public figure invites journalist Mike Stanhope to ghost-write his autobiography, Mike jumps at it. He can use the money, and his life needs a new direction. But he quickly realises that Alan Treadwell is a tough and unforgiving taskmaster, with strange ideas about how his book should be tackled.

Frustration changes to concern as Mike discovers things about Treadwell's life that he'd rather not know: things, moreover, that someone else also seems keen to keep quiet. Mike hopes he'll learn more from Joe, the original writer he's been recruited to replace, but worryingly, Joe is nowhere to be found.

As Mike tries to piece together Treadwell's complex history, his hard-won relationship with his girlfriend is faltering, and his repeated absences don't help. When the prospect of an appealing new involvement beckons, Mike's loyalties are torn and his integrity is on the line. With everything at stake, the action builds to an explosive climax as Mike finally understands what he's stumbled into.

The taut narrative and tight plotting of this fast-paced book mark it out as much more than just a sequel to its two predecessors, Alternative Outcome and Deficit of Diligence. It works in its own right as a compelling stand-alone mystery, delivering an intricate story line, vivid characters and dialogue, and a steady build-up to its dramatic conclusion.

One reviewer compared Peter Rowlands' first mystery, Alternative Outcome, to Robert Galbraith's The Cuckoo's Calling. Once you start reading Denial of Credit, you'll soon see why.

More from Denial of Credit reviews:

"I read the first 63 chapters (there are 90 of them) before I could put the book down; it was just that good... "

"This is the third book in the series that I have read and it is good to see that the author is maintaining a high standard... "

"The best yet. The writing is tighter yet more descriptive in this third novel... "

"Crisp prose, interesting settings, and a good mix of attractive an unattractive characters. A first-class story with unexpected twists and turns... "

"Each book [in the series] follows on well, but can also be read stand-alone... "
