Extract from Howard's new novel
"There are few better feelings in this world than the gradual realisation, somewhere between sleep and waking up, that you’ve got the day off.
Take that Tuesday, for example. For the previous few weeks I had worked myself into the ground and on that particular morning, the euphoria felt better than sex; the same climatic high but with none of the mess. Not that I’m an authority on that these days. Not since one, unplanned moment of madness provoked the
end of my marriage. In the four months since, I had wrapped work around me like a comfort blanket; avoiding the truth, according to my friends, and suffering the consequences my mother warned me about: not eating properly, drinking too much, not getting enough sleep. Not exactly textbook traits for a policeman.
As for me, I didn't read quite so much into it. I was run off my feet; more nose to the grindstone than head in the sand, like it must be high season for homicide. And as for sex? Probably best to gloss over it. Let’s just say I’ve been ploughing a lone furrow these past few months. I think you catch my drift.
