Author Description

Fresh out of prison and desperate to redeem himself, disgraced private investigator Joe Rey retreats to his shabby office and awaits his fate. Deranged clients with sordid agendas are his stock-in-trade, and there is very little that Rey won’t do for money.<br/>He is immediately plunged back into Paignton’s sordid underbelly, where he goes toe-to-toe with molesters, miscreants, maniacs and malcontents. Each case is more unhinged than the last, and his new-found enemies start to take on a hellish quality.<br/>Who knows: if he can save enough people, maybe Rey can even save himself?<br/>THE DAMAGE MANUAL is a brand new set of Paignton Noir case files from Tom Leins, the author of the cult collections MEAT BUBBLES & OTHER STORIES, TEN PINTS OF BLOOD and SHARP KNIVES & LOUD GUNS.
