Birdman (Jack Caffery 1)

Travel Guide

An iconic setting for the first novel in the Jack Caffery series. For Greenwich is a nice and iconic setting in the centre of the capital city which is now a hunting ground for this sadistic killer.

North Greenwich

“North Greenwich , Late May. Three hours before sunup and the river was deserted. Dark barges strained upstream on their moorings”

Millennium Dome

“A mist lifted from the water, rolling inland past unlit chandlers over the deserted Millennium Done and on across lonely wastelands, strange lunar landscapes…….”

The opening and your arrival at the Dome comes with flashing lights and the rush of police cars as they race to a scene. Nearby Croydon Exchange provides contact details for the police.

The area at the time is described as being ‘tarted up’ with the Millennium celebration so the waste ground, remote location and dark and dank river Thames is evoked with the smell of what they find and the decay all around them.

London Bridge

“London laid itself out to him from the diamond point of Canary Wharf west through a million lights relfected in the Thames to the Houses of Parliament”

Is this the hunting ground of the so called Millennium Ripper? Someone is watching from the gargoyles of  St Alfege

Caffery is damaged goods but this is his stomping ground and its a gothic playground of violence and brutality.

Greenwich as you have never seen it before.
