About this listen

 When DCI Jim Tyler believes he has uncovered evidence of deep rooted corruption in the police department, his thirst for justice and loathing of authority combine in a deadly cocktail that threatens to destroy him.

A police officer is found dead in a Staffordshire park. It looks like suicide. DCI Tyler and DS Mills want to speak to the dead officer’s partner, a bent copper recently thrown off the force. Then the partner is found dead in almost the same location. It appears to be another suicide.

Tyler believes there’s a bigger story and digs deeper, upsetting half of the local police force into the bargain, until he is finally ordered to close the case. Mills fears his colleague’s reluctance to pull out reveals a personal agenda, and a rift develops between the detectives.

But Tyler remains determined to dig down to the bottom, in spite of the pressure on him from the top ... and regardless of the consequences.

The Smell of Copper is the fourth book in the popular Tyler and Mills series. It can be enjoyed as a standalone crime novel.

'How is Mark Fowler and his Tyler and Mills series not #1 on every ‘best crime thriller’ list? The Smell of Copper is book 4 in the series but is an excellent standalone read. What I believe to be unique to Mark Fowler’s writing is his ability to perfectly blend a compelling crime thriller with the human turmoil we all suffer when facing our fears. As a result, I felt wholly invested in the plot and the characters involved.You’d be missing a gem if you didn’t read The Smell of Copper, the Tyler and Mills series is a must.' PJ, Amazon Customer.
'A great new discovery for me!' - Charliebeesbooks.
'Another gripping Tyler and Mills story' - Maggie Peplow.
'Great to return to these characters' - Spicewalker.
'I love the partnership between Tyler and his DS, Danny Mills. There is a great deal of banter between them too, which adds humour and lightness to an otherwise dark tale' - JenMedBookLover.
'A compelling detective story underscored by a fascinating character study makes for a timely and unflinching tale' - Julian Middleton, Author.
'Mark Fowler's latest police procedural novel, the ambiguously titled "The Smell of Copper", sees a return of DCI Tyler and DS Mills to investigate the apparent suicides of two members of their team. The atmospheric opening - with its setting on the bleak Staffordshire ponds - is highly dramatic and engaging. It sets the tone for a novel in which the principal detective faces demons from his past in order to address potential issues of corruption. All this while his DC struggles to stick to a diet despite the lure of Staffordshire oatcakes. I enjoyed it as a stand alone, but I'm sure fans will love to see the ongoing relationships develop between the principal characters. This one is for you if you enjoy the ins and outs of a police investigation led by an interesting, dynamic team of detectives. Lots of unexpected twists and a large helping of humour. Full marks' - Refinnej.
'An excellent detective novel.This is the fourth book in the series and I will be reading the previous ones' - Lisa Trussler.
