4.5 out of 5 stars 29 ratings

Even the Dark Creatures are scared

Ten years after they first met Mick Crooke, the mild-mannered computer wizard and biker, and his girlfriend WPC Samantha Loch are on the rail of a group of criminals.
Tasked by Greggory Lord Marchmont, the head of a small Home Office department to assist the police as they try to track down the source of some exceedingly dangerous synthetic cocaine.
This time they have their group of naturist friends and colleagues to help them.
Which is just as well, two men are already dead before they start on the trail! Which explains why Mick's Dark Creatures, that lurk in the dark places he doesn't want to see, are frightened!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in London, lived most of my life in the south of England. I only say that to excuse writing with a Sarff Lundin accint.

After a lifetime of not knowing what to do, RAF Officer, TV delivery driver, medical rep, trainer, computer guy … I'd even spent three summers running a naturist resort in Portugal. I decided to try something new and retired.

Lying by the pool in the South of France, a story started to take shape in my mind. Then the days got shorter, and the evenings longer, and I started to type. The string of random words turned into “The Uncovered Policeman.” Writing this story, I met the central characters, Bea being the most important. She nagged me into telling what turned into a series of 12 light, cosy romances with a cast of pleasant happy people, with quirky characters.

The New House trilogy, about a couple's first year of retirement in France, followed. “Almost a Year in Occitanie” - No, it is not autobiographical. OK, not very autobiographical.

More recently, Crooke and Loch launch their careers, solving mysteries and crimes in “The Summer of '71” and in a series of follow-up stories spanning the 1970s.

2020 marked the debut of another character … Melody. A lady of a certain age, a generous size and blinding intelligence, who first appears in "Problems and Passions."

The darkness of the great lockdown inspired some darker tales, for example "After The Event." As well as a few more escapist ones, such as "When The Music Stops" featuring the delightful Juliet Evans the singing solicitor

    Another Crooke and Loch adventure. And Ted left us with just a little teaser which could possibly point to a follow-up book. Or two or three. And have you read his Uncovered Policeman series? If not, DO! You are in for another treat, and hours of pleasant reading. Thank you, Ted, for another visit with Sam and Mick.

    Sam and Mick are on the case again in the early 1980s with the their old friends and a few new as well.A well crafted story with a good mix of action,romance and a nice twist at the end.

    Another absolutely delightful but suspenseful and slightly complicated tale of this pair. Action interlaced with motorcycling and naturist beaches. Totally engaging.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2022
    Another marvellous story by Mr Ted, although if I'm honest it's not as good as the first instalment. Almost need a reminder of who's who at the start.
    Very enjoyable read. Highly recommend the whole series and look forward to the next one.
