A gritty British crime novel, Hazell Plays Solomon is the third instalment in the hard-boiled James Hazell series, following a tough East End private detective navigating the murky streets of 1970s London. Written under the pen name P.B. Yuill — a collaboration between crime writer Gordon Williams and TV personality Terry Venables — the novel pits Hazell against a bitter child custody dispute that quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The narrative crackles with sharp Cockney wit, street-smart dialogue, and the kind of moral ambiguity that defines the best of British noir. Hazell is no polished hero; he's a flawed, resourceful man doing difficult work in a world that rarely plays fair, making each page utterly compelling for fans of classic detective fiction.
