Spaghetti Junction

by James Dargan

Overview

Two ex-cops. One missing nightclub manager. A city full of trouble.

Meet Napoleon "Nappy" Clancy - a down-on-his-luck Birmingham PI with a past in the force, an ex-wife in the States, and bills piling higher than his alimony. Alongside his reluctant sidekick, Barry Fanning, a no-nonsense ex-Garda from Dublin, Clancy's latest case promises quick cash and even quicker danger.

When glamorous blonde Clare Jameson hires them to find her missing boyfriend - nightclub manager Roger Diamond - the pair descend into Birmingham's murky underworld. The deeper they dig, the more dirt they uncover: strip clubs, gangsters, secrets, and a trail that leads straight to London and a dark secret buried in neon light.

Darkly comic and shamelessly British, Spaghetti Junction blends crime, satire, and odd-couple charm in a gritty detective romp through the Midlands.

Book 1 in the Napoleon Clancy series.

About the Author

James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.

Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.

Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
