An Oxford Crime Thriller of Viral Fame, Secrets, and Murder

In White Lies, Deadly Lies, British crime author Peter Tickler delivers a fast-paced, cleverly plotted Oxford mystery—the second novel featuring ex-soldier turned private detective Doug Mullen. Self-deprecating, endlessly resourceful, and perpetually short of funds, Mullen operates as an off-the-grid investigator, house-sitter, and reluctant dog-sitter across Oxfordshire.

Mullen's quiet routine is shattered when he heroically pulls a mother and daughter from a burning multi-car collision on the M40 motorway. Mobile phone footage of the rescue goes viral on national media, thrusting the reluctant detective into unwanted celebrity. The sudden publicity brings a flood of demanding new clients—from tracing a missing Syrian refugee and investigating threatening letters to tracking down a recently released convict. But when a routine investigation leads Mullen and his charge—an adorable Westie-Poodle mix named Rex—to a corpse hidden in Bagley Wood, Doug is drawn into a lethal web of deception and cold-blooded murder.

Why You'll Love This Book

Combining dry humor, rich atmospheric details of Oxford, and intricate multi-layered plotting, White Lies, Deadly Lies is an absorbing British private investigator mystery. Readers who enjoy gritty yet compassionate P.I. stories and Oxford crime fiction by Colin Dexter (Inspector Morse), Peter Robinson, Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin, and Mick Herron will be thoroughly entertained.
