Derbyshire author, Neal James, releases his fifth book
‘Full Marks’
on April 4th 2013.
Dennis Marks thought he had seen it all. That was before Solomon Goldblum
crossed his path –after that, things were never the same again. The trauma
which the old Jew had inflicted upon him had brought about a near psychological
collapse. That the DCI had been able to conceal the fragility of his mental
state from the shrink whom the Met had forced him to see had been down to his
sheer determination.
Now, all of that effort was about to be challenged by one of the most
daunting figures at New Scotland Yard – Superintendent Eric Staines. The
Independent Police Complaints Commission were about to take Marks’ life apart,
professionally and personally, and Staines, as one of its fiercest inquisitors,
was not a man inclined to show mercy.
The story tracks the fortunes of one of the Metropolitan Police’s finest
officers as he tries to clear his name. A raft of accusations, laid before the
IPPC, threatens to undermine everything that he has achieved in over thirty
years in the force. Powerful forces, ranged on either side of the
investigation, are set to determine the course of DCI Dennis Marks’
professional and personal life.
Neal James began writing in 2007 when a series of short stories found
favour on a number of international writing sites. Since then, he has released
two novels and an anthology of short stories. 'Threads of Deceit', his fourth
production in as many years, draws on the eighteen years he spent working
within the textile industry. As an accountant for over three decades, he has
drawn on his background to provide an insight into much of the substance
required in the creation of his writing to date. He lives in the East Midlands with his wife and family.
Following on the heels of ‘A Ticket to Tewkesbury’(2008),
‘Short Stories Volume One’ (2009),
‘Two Little Dicky Birds’ (2010),
and‘Threads of Deceit’ (2011),
‘Full Marks’ is the latest in Neal’s growing portfolio
