"It's quite simple Mr Ellington. When you find Fowler, just ask where we can find the truth."

With these words, private detective JT Ellington embarks on a seemingly simple case of tracking down a local GP with a dubious reputation and retrieving a set of stolen documents from him.

For Ellington, however, things are rarely straightforward. Dr Fowler is hiding a terrible secret and when he is gunned down outside a Bristol pub, his dying words send JT in pursuit of a truth more disturbing and deadly than he could possibly have imagined.

M.P. Wright's debut novel Heartman was longlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger.

"This is a newcomer bursting with life and originality ... Wright brings outstanding pace and suspense to this powerful story."
THE INDEPENDENT on Heartman

RAVEN CRIME READS

SHOTS MAG

"A crime thriller that gently draws you in then grabs you by the throat so that by the end my emotions were all over the place. Excellent read and can't wait for the next one."

      Set in 1966, Wright’s overlong, overwrought second novel featuring former Barbados cop J.T. Ellington (after Heartman) finds Ellington, who’s now an “enquiry agent” in Bristol, England, taking on what appears to be a straightforward assignment. Ida Stephens, an administrator at the Walter Wilkins orphanage, hires him to retrieve death certificates stolen from the home and to ask Dr. Theodore Fowler, like Ellington a black man, where they can find “the truth.” Fowler is killed, but not before telling Ellington where he can locate what he’s after: “Truth” turns out to be a frightened eight- or nine-year-old white girl, hidden away for her protection from those who wish her ill. Ellington soon goes on the run with the girl in tow, pursued by good cops, bad cops, and a couple of deadly Yanks. He and Truth bond as the violence escalates in this melodramatic crime novel, whose mostly one-dimensional characters are either really evil or really good. Agent: Phil Patterson, Marjacq Scripts (U.K.).
