In This Bright Future A Novel

Belfast seems like a perfect place for DC Smith to recuperate—until there’s a knock on the door and a new job arrives on his doorstep.

Two weeks of rest and recuperation—that’s what the doctor ordered. Detective Sergeant DC Smith could listen to some music, make some of his own and maybe even catch up on his reading; he is almost looking forward to it. And then there is a knock on the door. It’s only his next-door neighbor but it is the beginning of a sequence of events that will bring him face to face with some of the darkest episodes and the most dangerous people from his own past. 

This is Smith’s fifth investigation but this time it’s personal.
