Rain Dogs and Love Cats - Andrew Holmes ... leave, playing the same old records to groups of pissed-up punters at weddings and 40th birthday parties. He loves his wife and their new baby, but it wasn't meant to be like this. Early one morning he learns that his brother has been involved in a fatal accident.

As Charlie picks up the investigation he discovers a trail which leads uncomfortably close to home...With his trademark ability to skewer people, with all their vanities and weaknesses, to the page, Andrew Holmes delivers a darkly funny and compelling detective story that shows just how hard it is to escape the past.

Rain Dogs and Love Cats *Introduction* I first came across Andrew Holmes whilst browsing through ex-loan books on sale in my local library. The book 'Sleb' caught my eye and I parted with my 20p. Having thoroughly enjoyed it (20p wisely invested), I purchased his second book "All Fur Coat" at full price which was again an excellent read.
