The Cutting Season (Quick Reads 2022)

Poe's just hanging out on a Saturday afternoon...
Hanging from a hook in a meat packing plant isn't how Detective Sergeant Washington Poe wants to spend his weekend. He's been punched and kicked and threatened, and when the Pale Man arrives it seems things will soon go from bad to worse. The Pale Man is a contract killer, and he and his razor are feared all over London.
But Poe knows two things the Pale Man doesn't. And now things are about to get interesting . . .
