Welcome to The Irresponsible Reader’s part in the Cover Reveal for Jim McGhee’s The Detective Wakes! We’ll get to the eye-catching cover in a bit, but first, let’s read a little about the book, okay?

Book Blurb

Detective Inspector Barney Mains knows he’s only in the South of France to fly the flag. That he should leave it to French officers to find the missing British celebrity.

But after years behind a desk in Edinburgh Police HQ he just can’t resist the urge to investigate a real live case again. Especially when it lands him in the middle of an intriguing mystery.

Though it’s one that will lead to murder and put Barney and those around him in deadly danger. Then present him with the biggest dilemma of his life.

He’ll be forced to question twenty years of training and a lifetime of doing the right thing.

For he must choose between justice and the law.

And only one of these options comes with a very attractive bonus.

It might just keep him alive…

This is Book One of the series featuring Scots DI Barney Mains and Capitaine Jean-Luc Verten.

Look out for Book Two: The Major Minor Murders.
