The Zombie Cop

Bitten by a zombie. Widowed by five-thirty. Trapped with his in-laws. Not Jake Rodwell's best Christmas. With celebrations cut short by the zombie apocalypse, PC Jake Rodwell decides patrolling streets infested with undead is his best option. Turns out it isn't. THE ZOMBIE COP. A flesh twist on the genre with a slash of satire and a bludgeoning of bathos. Need more flesh on those rickety bones?This is no ordinary zombie apocalypse.
For starters, it erupts on the Wednesday before Christmas (inconvenient). Its epicentre is a Cornish village some might have called sleepy. And it seems not all the those who turn zombie can be bothered to create more zombies. Typically, PC Jake Rodwell encounters an aggressive type, and one bite leads to another. But the intravenous intervention of a serum stops him turning zombie, leaving him trapped in a halfway house between the living and undead.
A hybrid if you please. DCI Bannen sees the potential for Rodwell to use his condition to lead the police fightback against the apocalypse. Essential, as it appears that the regular police, and the government for that matter, are all missing in inaction. So Rodwell takes to the streets, the lone upholder of the law, his daughter alongside him. She's only four, but following the death of her mother (yes, zombie related) he's adamant he is he only person who can look after her, which he must do by trying to keep the world a sane place and waiting for Bannen to recruit and train a new model police force.
