The Lady in the Park is about the good in most people, and about love, grief and childhood. The first in an exciting new crime fiction series, it weaves a diverse cast of characters into a twisty immersive plot that will leave readers craving for more investigations featuring the inimitable Jim Domino and his young sidekick, Danny.

Introducing a unique and unorthodox crime solving duo, ex Met DI Jim Domino, and his inquisitive six-year-old grandson, Danny.

When a woman is found unconscious on a ping-pong table in Peckham’s Warwick Gardens, it looks like a case of mistaken identity. Why would anyone want to injure this popular local mum of six? But Jim Domino, retired CID detective turned private eye, keeps asking questions. 

As the crime escalates to murder, Domino’s investigations take him to the leafy Thames Valley, and plunge him into a dark world of ruthless people-traffickers and drug dealers. How might these sinister activities be linked to the Peckham murder? 

Assisted by sharp observations from his six-year-old grandson, Danny, Domino finds that important clues can come from unexpected sources.
