John Dean – Crime Writer

The Railway Man is the latest DCI John Blizzard crime novel by John Dean to be given a refresh and relaunch, complete with new cover for the ebook, by Joffe Books, who recently acquired its publisher The Book Folks.

In the book, which can be purchased in various formats on Amazon, Chief Inspector John Blizzard should be enjoying the relaunch of the old Tenby Street station on a steam railway he has helped restore but the festivities stall when the body of a notorious ex-boxer is discovered in the signal box, battered and left to rot.

The victim, Billy Guthrie, had enemies everywhere — especially among the railway preservation group. As Blizzard investigates the rivalries and resentments behind the scenes, the case begins to derail in unexpected directions.
