Come and meet author Dexter Hutt, who will be signing copies of his new book, Digging Deep.

Wednesday 8:36pm. A man lies brutally stabbed to death in a deserted Birmingham car park. Chief Inspector Gavin Ross surveys the scene. Detective Inspector Angie Reeves has been granted a trial period with the murder team to see if she’s fit to return to active duty. Evidence begins to mount but then Ross’s team are mysteriously pulled off the investigation. Angie cannot let it go because the murdered man is Walter Price – her old headteacher who once saved her father’s life. Drawn into a sinister world of extreme violence and betrayal, she is determined to find out the truth behind Walter’s death…

Dexter spent his early childhood in Guyana. After graduating from Birmingham University, he pursued a career in secondary school improvement, during which he was knighted for services to education. He lives in Birmingham and Diggng Deep is his first novel.

“A fantastic debut novel and the first of what, I hope, is a series of Detective Reeves’ cases. The characters and their relationships are engaging and believable, warts. The familiarity of Birmingham and surrounding areas is the perfect setting to this crime and the twists and turns of the tale.”

“Digging Deep hooks you from the first page to the last. Angie Reeves is a strong and fascinating protagonist with an emotional investment in hunting down the killer. The insights into intelligent and painstaking detective work coupled with a taut plot make for an engrossing read.”
