It’s Christmas Eve in Eden, Florida, and Wylie ‘Coyote’ Melville, professional therapist and hobbyist forensic consultant, is called to the scene of a horrific crime at a quiet suburban address.
Wylie has enough on his plate as it is, his father is slipping deeper into the clutches of Alzheimer’s, his new kitten Django is wreaking havoc with the soft furnishings and a homeless man has taken up residence on his front lawn. But a local family has been found brutally slain in their own home, and Wylie’s friend Detective Sergeant Carlos O’Brien wants him to use his rare ability to ‘read minds’, to see the clues.
So he starts his own haphazard investigation, but with suspicions of mob involvement and the police strangely keen to shut down Wylie’s amateur operation, he might be biting off more than he can chew.
No Regrets, Coyote is a wild ride to the dark heart of the Florida underworld. For fans of Christopher Brookmyre, Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, and introduces a brilliantly original detective with the crime scene skills of Sherlock Holmes and the personal life of Jeff ‘the Dude’ Lebowski.
