In an hour he'd be off duty, and in a couple more he'd be on a date with an art student he'd recently arrested for drugs possession. London is steaming under a summer of filthy heat and sudden storms - and Detective Nick Belsey, of Hampstead CID, is trying to stay out of trouble. But then somebody sets him a riddle.

Praise for Deep Shelter 'Relentless...explosive' Mail on Sunday 'The coolest cop you'll have come across in ages. London through his eyes is as atmospheric as a drawing by Gustave Dore... This demands to be read before the television adaptation' Kate Saunders
