Catching a serial killer won’t be easy when nobody suspects murder…

One thing is stopping Jono from loving his job as a paramedic. It’s not the blood and gore, nor the vomiting drunks, not even the seemingly endless rolling shifts. It’s the overbearing management. He’s a competent clinician who always does the best for his patients, but petty bureaucracy and red tape never fail to fire him up.

Despite this disaffection, Jono won’t ignore the fact that several ambulance ‘regulars’ have been turning up dead. Each death in itself seems innocent enough, but the sudden mounting body count raises his suspicions. Is it just a coincidence, or has someone decided to clean up the city? What’s more worrying is that Jono appears to be the only one who cares.

Harry Colfer is the pseudonym of an experienced critical care paramedic with twenty years of on-road experience gained in both England and Australia. With his role being one of the highest trained prehospital clinicians, he regularly attends cardiac arrests, multi-system trauma and major incidents. As a way of dealing with his inevitable demons, he embraced the cathartic paramedic custom of storytelling and began writing in his spare time. Using his knowledge of the subject area, he created a series of short stories, Ambo Tales from the Frontline, eventually publishing one for each of the thirty-two codes used to categorise emergency calls. Although his stories are fictional, the clinical details and interventions are all accurate, thereby giving the reader an entertaining education in the frontline emergency world. Beyond this, his main protagonist, Jono, often says and does the things Harry wishes he could get away with, and that’s perhaps why he goes by his pen name. In addition to winning awards for his short stories, Harry has published three full-length novels featuring the same characters: a murder-mystery, Dead Regular, and two action-adventure thrillers, Beneath Contempt and High Acuity. This year he hopes to publish the fourth and final instalment, Show Cause.
