The highly anticipated sixth book in the bestselling DI Nick Dixon Crime Series.

The body of an elderly man is found in an abandoned World War Two pillbox beside the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal. With no obvious motive and no credible suspect, DI Nick Dixon starts digging into the victim’s past.

The more he digs, the deeper Dixon is drawn into a case that takes him from the cave systems beneath rural Somerset to the heart of government, and threatens to expose a military cover-up at the highest level.

Blocked by a wall of silence, Dixon must unravel a dangerous conspiracy before the killer strikes again.

Another Brilliant book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2017

Verified Purchase

Damien Boyd definitely knows how to write a story using events and things he knows from life. He went caving and actually used one of the people who helped him in that endeavors name. He uses the knowledge of his father looking at asbestos and the amusing story of a turd in draw. As a solicitor he can draw on extensive experience both his own and of others he knows. He explains police procedures correctly. All this add to Damien Boyd's repertoire and a brilliant story l love the fact he has Dixon liking old classic films and watches again and again, true to life as l know someone like that. Each book has a different story as this one involves military veterans where previous stories have revolved around a school and an old romance and yet though each can be read alone there is a continuing core of themes.....Nick and Jane with Monty the dog as a budding family...the different detectives and police officers. I enjoy Damien Boyd's books so much as soon as l finished book 5 l started Death Sentence so 2 in one night

Atmospheric thriller, well written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2020

This is the first book in this series I have read - and I chose it for no better reason than knowing the setting for this book, the Taunton to Bridgwater canal, intimately. Inspector Nick Dixon of the Avon and Somerset Constabulary, is alerted to the discovery of a body in one of the Second World War pillboxes beside the canal.

The identity of the body is not that hard to discover, but as to finding the reason he was killed and the perpetrator, there is very little to go on. But the inspector perseveres ...

The book is fast paced, atmospheric, and the protagonist, Nick Dixon, is a credible and engaging character. The atmosphere of the canal and its pillboxes - especially at night - is captured very well. I recommend it and shall look for others.

A death sentence...for some it really was.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2018

Another great story in the DI Nick Dixon series. The story evolves around the murder of an ex military chap, the Falklands war, revenge and money. As soon as caving was mentioned, I knew at once that if not Dixon himself then someone close to him would get into trouble in a cave. Spot on. Also some of the conversations and legal terms referring to the court case went over my head rather.
Since Jane's transfer to another squad she has taken a bit of a back seat in this story, but she and Monty are still very prominent. Dixon and his team still work very well together and look out for each other. Dixon does a great deal of parking across peoples driveways, regardless of whether he's there to see the owner of said driveway or not, which is pretty inconsiderate police officer or not. There's still a lot of eye rolling as well. That would really give me a headache!
As always there's plenty of action throughout, which is what I like. This keeps me reading sometimes through till the small hours. Always the sign of a good book for me.
I glad Nimrod found a good home!

Fantastic crime series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2019

Damien has done it again! Number 6 of DI Nick Dixon's murder case series. Was just as good as the other 5. As soon as I had read the first paragraph I was hooked. Damien Boyd writes brilliantly, his characters on both sides of the crime, are interesting. The unfurling murder case becomes full of twists, turns and sometimes dead ends. Yet, DI Dixon and his team continue to unravel the clues, connections and the coincidences, that Nick Dixon knows aren't coincidences.

I highly recommend you buy this series of DI NICK DIXONS murder investigations, you will soon become hooked and hungry for more.

Best Yet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I have read all of the Damien Boyd, Dixon, books to date and this is the best yet. It still has the cast of one dimensional characters and the annoying Jane Winter but overall was an enjoyable read. I thought it got bogged down part way through and also a little confusing but all became clear in the end. The plot is extremely implausible but then it is a novel and that is what makes it interesting. Far less 'rolling of eyes' than the previous book and at last Jane Winter actually contributes something to the story. I believe that what adds to the novels is the setting. Not the rolling hills of Hollywood but the beaches, pubs and balti's of Somerset. The books remain entertaining, easy to read and whatever their shortcomings make you want to pick up the next in the series.

Really really good series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2017

Verified Purchase

I have just finished the final, sixth, book in this excellent series (not five books as I put in an earlier review). The books are so well written I could not put them down. The storylines were so different but extremely well plotted and I have learned something in all of them. The characters were never sentimental yet the main people were very well described and related well to each other. What am I going to read next? A hard act to follow!!! I hope this author will bring out a sequel as I will miss Nick, Jane and Monty.

The best Detective book I have ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 January 2019

Verified Purchase

I couldn't put the book down. I found it very compelling reading. I'm looking at the story from the marines side. The suffering that the marines had from the affects of Asbestos clearly needing the government to pay compensation. The barrister who was fighting their cause because she believed the men needed help not just with their health and mental state but that their families would be helped after the passing of their husbands or father's. There was plenty of intrigue in the plotting of the murders. Did they all plot together or was it some other persons?

This is the 6th book in the series and I have read them all. It has been a while since I read the last one so it took me a couple of chapters to get into it. I was concerned as it got to the nitty gritty about Monty. I have a soft spot for him as I had a dog with the same name. I will be reading the next one in the series sooner rather than later.
