The McEndrick Option is a fast-moving, psychological and political thriller featuring Len Cooke's maverick Cumbrian police heroine - Kate Hoagan. It is now 1995 and Detective Superintendent Kate Hoagan, the no-nonsense, invariably cynical and iconoclastic Cumbrian detective, is back; investigating what, at first view, appears to be yet another sexually motivated killing perpetrated on her large and very watery English Lake District patch. However, she soon finds herself embroiled in a pot-mess of intrigue and corruption, where powerful vested interests, from within her own organisation and even the distant corridors of Whitehall itself, conspire to ensure that no one seems to have a real clue as to what is truth and what is fiction. Only one thing is certain - Britain's most celebrated and at times controversial collar-feeler is back!
