Someone’s reading between the lines — and killing between the chapters.
Once a bestselling crime novelist in the glory days of the ’90s, George Pendry now runs a failing second-hand bookshop in the faded seaside town of Seaford-on-Sea. Divorced, disillusioned, and perpetually hungover, George lives among the dusty relics of his former success—until a series of murders begins to mirror the twisted plots of his own long-forgotten novels.
Drawn back into a world of mystery, murder, and literary misdirection, George becomes an unlikely sleuth, aided (and occasionally hindered) by a cast of eccentric townsfolk, a teen crime buff with no filter, and a very large, very opinionated Maine Coon cat named Lucifer.
Darkly comic and cleverly plotted, Hardback Justice is a genre-bending series that blends noir intrigue with biting satire, weaving together small-town secrets, page-turning suspense, and the strange, sometimes deadly consequences of fiction bleeding into real life.
