Did you love The Inspector Walter Darriteau Murder Mysteries - Books 1-4 (Walter Darriteau Box Set I - Ebook Edition)? Then you should readThe Legal & the Illicit by David Carter!
There are not too many new cases on Inspector Walter Darriteau's desk. Perhaps it's inevitable he thinks of old cases and cold cases and sad cases and nutcases, and that always brings him back to the DC Suzy Wheater affair, and what an horrific business that was.
Lisa Greystone travels to the Greek islands. It's her final stab at freedom prior to her marriage to commodity heir, Midge Ridge. She meets bar owner, Nicoliades Emperikos, and after a few drinks allows herself to be taken back to his house, and his bed, but is it rough sex, or something far worse?
The Ridge family and the Ridge businesses are doing just great. Crushing rivals, stealing their best staff, bankrupting competitors, sowing the seeds of jealousy and hatred, creating enemies that will last a lifetime. Everything is going swimmingly well.
"The Legal & the Illicit" is a story of power, money, greed, and naked ambition, with eight strong female characters eagerly awaiting their chance to come to the fore.
And behind it all is Inspector Walter Darriteau, thinking, pondering and working out what the heck is going on, and what makes this driven family tick.
This book takes you on a thrilling ride through the world of big business, commodity trading, high finance, and ugly power, where threats and violence and even murder are all on the cards - a hectic world full of desperate men… and incredibly ambitious women.
Walter Darriteau makes a welcome return here in his sixth case. "The Legal & the Illicit" is available in paperback and as an Ebook. It's a chunky page-turning read running to 430 pages.
*******
"This is a weighty novel for those who appreciate ongoing tension, excitement, revulsion, violence, mystery across generations, being all the more intense for the wait whilst the whole picture emerges. The story is very well considered and works well, for David Carter's chirpy, fast delivery keeps the pages of this sagaturning.
Another great read from an author whose writing talent allows him the freedom to cross genres very successfully to produce a very tense, thrilling and enjoyable read, even if you are like me, squeamish and readily horrified. It's a slice of life not many of us would choose I'm sure, but it's also an experience. I can but highly recommend this book."
- Margaret Henderson Smith – Author of Amber and The Turn of the Tide.

About the Author
David Carter lives in the south of England and has written more than 20 books including a series of murder/mysteries featuring his detective Inspector Walter Darriteau based in Chester, Merseyside, Liverpool, and North Wales.
If you’re interested in this genre look out for The Murder Diaries - Seven Times Over, The Sound of Sirens, The Twelfth Apostle and Kissing a Killer, aIl featuring Walter Darriteau.
David has also written a male equivalent chicklit novel dubbed “manlit” by some. The Life and Loves of Gringo Greene features a character who doesn’t treat women well and it comes back to haunt him.
Margaret Henderson Smith, a seasoned writer in her own right, wrote about Gringo Greene:
In its easy style it simply bounces along, every page sheer entertainment, compulsively turned, but at the same time I found myself grateful for the sheer length of this chunky, fun-filled book because I never wanted to reach the end. I feel sure readers will be hankering after a sequel, or a prequel as Carter puts it and I hope the author will oblige.
From the start, the reader readily engages with the characters, the context, the setting, the story. With its low-key running plot gradually stepping up as the story progresses, Carter has the balance just right for he allows no distraction from each of Gringo’s lover’s own tales. This has got to be one of the most fascinating books I've ever read, for Carter has the knack of placing the reader in the thick of it. One is hardly aware one is reading, the experience of interacting with the characters is strangely powerful, and I read this with the ease of watching a film.I congratulate the author on this work for it takes a very clever author to be able to hold the reader’s fascination continuously in this way. He has created a superb male `slick-lit’ character in Gringo Greene and the work has much to commend it. Within its genre, it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and it goes without saying I highly recommend it.
David’s aim is to release one full-length novel every year, though
