Watch out, Jack Reacher, here comes Frank Winter. Frank Winter is an ex-cop, a former hard-boiled Boston detective with a soft centre living in curmudgeonly retirement with his beloved dog, Dolly. But when his daughter's killer is released on parole, Frank's back, a man on a mission, and it's yester-day once more. But first, Frank's got a bunch of favours to call in. Throw in a rookie minder cop who's great with computers but scared of guns, and help from the desirable Destiny, whose past is even murkier than Frank's... hell, you just know things will go according to plan. Strong characters, well-paced action, dark humour and cracking dialogue make Double Jeopardy an old-school crime novel with a surprisingly modern twist.
