Summary
The second collection of Jack Benton’s thrilling Slim Hardy Mysteries, including books four to six in the series: Slow Train, The Angler’s Tale, and Eight Days.
Slow Train
On the evening of Saturday, January 15, 1977, a local commuter train is delayed at a small village station by a freak blizzard. Young nurse Jennifer Evans, keen to get back to her family, plans to walk the last couple of miles to her home in a neighboring village. She phones her daughter to confirm that she’s on her way, but she never arrives home.
In the ensuing police investigation, no trace of Jennifer Evans is ever found. The only evidence is a photograph taken by a fellow passenger of footprints in the snow in front of Holdergate station.
It appears someone was fleeing for their life….
Contacted by Jennifer’s daughter, at first it seems private investigator John “Slim” Hardy has no chance of solving a 42-year-old mystery. But as the case begins to unravel, Slim finds himself caught in the center of a whirlwind which will send him spinning to a dramatic conclusion.
The Angler’s Tale
Attempting to forget his problems with the bottle, former soldier turned private detective John “Slim” Hardy joins what ought to be a peaceful fishing package holiday in Dartmouth, South Devon. But when a violent tragedy affects one of the other tour guests, Slim finds himself on the trail of a potential killer.
Set in the beautiful surrounds of the River Dart estuary and Agatha Christie’s Greenway, The Angler’s Tale will take Slim Hardy into places darker than any he has faced before.
Eight Days
After nearly a year out of the game, former soldier turned private detective John "Slim" Hardy takes what he hopes will be an easy comeback case in the quiet Devonshire town of Launceston. The disappearance in mysterious circumstances of local schoolgirl Emily Martin left police clueless. After being missing for eight days, her sudden reappearance left them equally baffled. Apparently unharmed, Emily claimed no memory of her period of abduction, and in time, the investigation faded.
Two years later, as her relationship with her daughter falls apart, Emily's desperate mother Georgia turns to Slim, wanting answers.
Her eight days missing has changed Emily, so much so that Georgia is unsure the girl is even her daughter at all....
