Jack Johnson is newly divorced, recently made redundant and in search of a fresh start. But when a young boy he meets on the canals turns up drowned, trouble seems determined to follow him. With the encouragement of Jack's unlikely companion, Nina, who's come aboard his narrowboat, Jumping Jack Flash, to help him navigate the waterways of the Midlands, Jack is soon tangled up in a police investigation that doesn't quite add up. Is there a serial killer stalking the towpaths? Jack's got more pressing problems too: can a canal boat outrun an organised crime syndicate and a media manhunt? Canal Pushers is the first thriller in an exciting new crime series set on Britain's waterways.
Andy Griffee is a former BBC journalist and media consultant with a fascination for stories. He was born in Gibraltar and spent his childhood on British Army bases around the world before studying at the University of Manchester. He began his journalism career at the Bath Evening Chronicle, and then spent twenty-five years at the BBC, culminating in his role as Editorial Director in overall charge of the BBC's largest capital project, the redevelopment and expansion of BBC Broadcasting House in London. Andy lives in Worcestershire and, when he isn't writing, rears rare breed pigs, struggles to keep a 1964 Triumph Spitfire on the road and enjoys hiring narrowboats with his wife Helen and their family.
