Your Days Are Numbered: The Terrible Business of Salmon & Dusk

DETECTIVES. THIEVES. TIME-TRAVELLERS. (REASONABLE RATES.) 'Somewhere in this city, there's a hole in history, in reality itself, and it's getting bigger. I'm the only detective in town who keeps an eye on what crawls through.' Kilbey Salmon has charm, a quick gob and an instinct for self-preservation. Nero Dusk has a lot of patience, a grumpy demeanour and a way with his fists. Theo Cartwright is an Australian journalist who often wonders why she spends time with either of them. In their time-travelling London cab, they scrape together a living finding things that never existed and solving crimes that never happened for people desperate enough to seek their help. Mostly, they get themselves in trouble. And when there's trouble for Salmon & Dusk, it's the strangest sort of trouble London has ever seen. For a start, there's the artist whose paintings are taking on a life of their own, there's the client wanting to solve his own murder, there's the ex-convict and his misplaced loot, and there's a sociopathic vegan hunting a stopwatch that can wind back history itself.

Story 6: Your Days Are Numbered Part 3

Theo is seeing things and Death is abroad, threatening the lives of everyone in London. The only hope is solving the mystery of the Olympic curse. And, possibly, some Morris Dancing.

Enjoyed listening to this audiobook read by the author. Apparently this is part of a series which I didn't realise, this story works as a standalone regardless.
