About this listen
An offer too good to be true
Former police officer-turned-solicitor Eric Ward is recovering from a serious eye operation when the offer comes in.
Come down to London.
Help Philip Scarn, a successful entrepreneur, break into the North East.
Get paid handsomely doing it.
On the journey, Ward is nearly killed. At the other end of a phone call, a shadowy voice warns this is just the beginning. Then a young woman is murdered. Ward finds himself caught up in a turf war between gangs as he races to prevent another killing. Is an old enemy from his policing days on his tail? Or is this something to do with Scarn?
Can Eric Ward discover his enemies when what’s preventing him from seeing them has nothing to do with his eyes?

Geordie crime from a bygone era
Superb reading of a stylish Tyneside crime drama - if you like 70s 80s British series like the Sweeney or throw-backs like Life on Mars you should find this an enjoyable listen

Crime writing at its best.
Roy Lewis continues to build an in-depth and fascinating portrait of Newcastle and its criminal underbelly seething with rich gangsters, corrupt cops and small-time crooks all clawing at their share of the pie. In "The Quayside Murder," Eric Ward becomes a person of interest for a number of people and soon faces trouble coming his way, alongside his health issues and a complicated relationship with Anne.
There is much less focus on legal disputes than in the previous two books, but the story is equally gripping and Lewis's characters and their inner turmoil show the depth of the author's understanding of human nature.
Overall, "The Quayside Murder" is another excellent instalment of this wonderful series. Most enjoyable and highly recommended!
