2000s: The second in the Joseph O’Loughlin series
Lost (Joseph O’Loughlin 2)
What you need to know before your trail
Vincent Ruiz is lucky to be alive. A bullet in the leg, another through the hand, he is discovered clinging to a buoy in the River Thames, losing blood and consciousness fast. It takes six days for him to come out of his coma, and when he does, his nightmare is only just beginning. Because Vincent has no recollection of what happened, and nobody believes him.
A mile away from his body, a boat was found covered in blood — Vincent’s and that of three others. Forensics say at least one of them must be dead. Vincent, a police detective, had signed his service pistol out of the station armoury, despite being on leave. Many murder suspects fake amnesia, and the investigating team are not sure this case is any different . . . The only clue is a picture in his pocket, a photograph of a young girl, Mickey Carlyle, who disappeared three years ago. And though Mickey is presumed dead, Vincent has the nagging doubt that she is alive and in terrible danger . . .
Travel Guide
Travel and explore the London of Michael Robotham
The city of London is his home and home turf but his work takes him across the UK in many of the books. No matter where he goes, there is a good yet gritty guide to the city where he is. the author carves out a vivid picture of the setting, atmosphere and showcases the shadows of the city, you might not see otherwise:
His setting and himself (book one) :
I like this view of London. It still looks majestic. It’s only when you get close up you see the decay. But then again, I guess you could say the same time about me.
His office (book one)
“My office is in a pyramid of white boxes on Great Portland Street designed by an architect who drew inspiration from his childhood. Ground level, it doesn’t look finished and I’m always half expecting a crane to turn up and hoist a few more boxes into the gaps.”
A city discovery (book 2):
“The underpass is one of those strange , almost secret landmarks you find in cities. Tens of thousands of people walk past it and drive over it every day with no idea it’s there. All you can see is a railing fence and cobblestone approach raod before it disappears underground. It runs beneath Kingsway – one of the busiest streets in the West End – down to the Aldwych, where it turns right and comes out directly beneath Waterloo Bridge.
