‘A Walk on the Wild Side’ – A new crime thriller from M C Dutton with a detective Sikh by birth and an Eastender by choice.

Detective Jaswinder Singh has a reputation for solving cases in the most unorthodox of manners. This has made him many enemies within the police, but his methods always achieve great results with all his cases being solved.

Sarah, a civilian manager at the police station, enlist Jazz’s confidential help in finding out what is happening with her husband, Derek, who worked in the Police Protection squad and may be being blackmailed. Although he has few friends in the police force, as he is considered a rule breaker, Jazz does have two colleagues that have remained loyal to him and an informant Mad Pete who reluctantly comes across with information when pushed. It is revealed that Derek is into S&M and belongs to an exclusive S&M club where the blackmail could be happening. Taking advantage of Derek being away Jazz decides to go undercover in the club to see what he can find out.

This alerts MI6 and it seems that a large undercover operation is about to take place and Derek was under scrutiny as a potential traitor. Now established in the mess and causing chaos for MI6, Jazz is incorporated into their strategy for the operation, but told to keep out of the way. This is never going to happen, but now he must take on MI6, an S&M club and a terrorist group each one of them potentially out to kill him.

MC Dutton has been involved with criminality for the past 20 years, having worked for the CPS in the East End of London and considerable voluntary work with young offenders. A long time Samaritan, the author has met some awesome people but also the sad, mad and seriously bad.

As the author says: “I love writing detective stories. I worked for the CPS in an East London Police Station and watched the work the police dealt with and the banter between officers. I wanted a different detective, most have been covered in many books and TV shows. Then, one day, an officer walked into my charging centre. A lively, cocky Sikh man who was as East End as you could get. My character was born.”
