Lies and Desperate Measures is a gritty, non-cosy British crime novel set in England in 1914 exploring corruption, betrayal and revenge within the police force.
PC Matthew Stannard made enemies the day he chose justice over loyalty to his fellow policemen. Now one of them is determined to make him pay.
Matthew thought going back to the Force would mean all his troubles were behind him. But informing on a fellow officer is an unforgiveable sin in the police and one colleague wants his revenge.
When PC Alec Morton is warned his every move is being watched by his superior, he plans to leave the Force before he gets caught, but he's determined to go only with his pockets full of money.
He's plans an ambitious robbery, but when Matthew begins investigating a local drunk's disappearance, Morton realises the young police constable is very close to uncovering his criminal activity, threatening everything he's worked for.
Matthew has to be got out of the way. If Morton's plan succeeds, Matthew won't just lose his career; he'll lose his freedom, and Morton will have his revenge.
