Nonostante i suoi frequenti errori e contrattempi comici, si ritrova spesso a inciampare in casi intriganti. Il protagonista lotta con le proprie mancanze mentre svela crimini complessi. È una storia sull'umanità, sull'umorismo e sull'eroismo inaspettato.




When his latest case leads him to the unsolved murder of 17-year-old Celia Norris, this is Davies's chance to prove his mettle.
Detective Constable Davies has two things on his min: Jemma Duval, the beautiful, black, hymn-singing social worker, and 'Lofty' Brock, the harmless old eccentric who drowned in the canal. To prove that Lofty's death was no accident, our hero sets out to do some undercover detective work on his own.
Known in the London police as the Last Detective, it is no surprise when Det. Dangerous Davies gets beaten up on the job. While recuperating, he is approached by a member of the local Widows Club to investigate the death of her husband 15 years before. A mystery which propels Davies into a double life of casework and moonlighting and a series of outlandish adventures. Available in October.
Leslie Thomas präsentiert mit Dangerous Davies eine sympathische Detektivfigur. Nach dem Erfolg des vierten Bandes erscheinen die ersten drei Abenteuer in einem Sammelband. Abseits seiner Arbeit als Londoner Detective löst Davies hier spannende Fälle.
