About this ebook
A DCI deals with a homicide on a boat in the Thames—and hostility from his own colleagues—in the debut of this police thriller series.
A shady London nightclub owner is found dead on his boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case after joining the Major Crime Unit of Thames Valley Police.
But Bill Watson, a belligerent fellow DCI, gives Fleming a hostile reception and, as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues. During the course of the investigation, Fleming and his sergeant identify five suspects. Now they need to eliminate them one by one—or figure out whether they should be looking somewhere else entirely—in this first book in an electrifying new crime series.

About the author
Robert McNeil grew up in Hawick in the Scottish Borders. He worked briefly for Pringle of Scotland before joining the Royal Air Force, serving at home and in the Persian Gulf. He subsequently had brief spells working for a local authority and as a sales representative before embarking on a thirty-three-year career with the Home Office. The last sixteen years were spent in the Home Office headquarters Commercial Directorate in Westminster where he advised on procurement and the commercial aspects of business cases for multi-million-pound contracts. Robert had a lifelong ambition to write a novel and finally achieved this when he retired from the Home Office where he developed the idea for his debut book, The Janus File, a political, spy thriller available on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. He loves a good crime, whodunit novel and hopes that his debut crime novel, The Fifth Suspect, will be the first of many. When not writing, Robert spends his time gardening, reading, and playing golf. He is married and now lives in Shropshire.
