Description
It's the early 1980s—the heady days of excess, dirty secrets, and personal favours. Former detective Frank Swann is still in disgrace, working as a low-rent PI. But when he's offered a security job by the premier's fixer, it soon becomes clear that someone is bugging the premier's phone—and it may cost Swann more than his job to find out why.
In Old Scores, author David Whish-Wilson weaves a gripping tale of intrigue and danger, where the stakes are higher than they first appear. Swann must navigate the treacherous waters of political manoeuvring and covert schemes to uncover the truth.
