The Kindle Best seller returns with the first in a gripping new crime series.
Synopsis:
A Stranger. A promise. A deadly game.
Danny and Sharon Evans are desperate for answers. Why did their seemingly happy daughter try to take her own life?
When a stranger approaches Danny, saying he knows who’s to blame, Danny is tempted, despite Sharon’s reservations. And when his new friend offers them revenge, how can he walk away?
But little does Danny know he is being invited to play a terrible game. A game that won't just change lives – it will end them.
DI Joel Norris knows this is no ordinary case when two seemingly unconnected murders hit his desk within a matter of days. But how far is he willing to go to solve the puzzle?
Review:
I'd you know the author's DS Maddie book series, then this may at first seem the total opposite, and not for you. But give it time, stay with the alternating point of view, and you'll have a suspenseful thriller of a mystery that will have you clued to the text. The author's prior training obviously has given him the experience to write realistic novels, and this one is no different- almost noir-ish in feel, with a modern very sick twist. Once you stumble to it, you won't want to stop reading this dark rabbit hole of a tale, so be prepared for an all-day/night read!
About the Author:
Charlie Gallagher has been writing for twenty years, most of that time as a hobby but with the dream of one day 'doing it properly.' Alongside this hobby it was necessary to have a day job which, for thirteen years, was as a serving U.K. police officer. This career in policing opened up a whole new world of experiences and opportunities and he is now fortunate enough to be able to channel those experiences into stories on a full time basis.
Whilst a police officer, Charlie worked as a response officer, a member of a specialist tactical team, a detective and in a regional counter terrorism unit.
His books are thrillers and, rather unsurprisingly, policing and crime are central to the stories.
Charlie lives on the south coast of the U.K with his wife and two daughters, a springer spaniel, a tortoise and a cat with a far higher number of twitter followers. Charlie is published by Joffe Books and Avon, Harper Collins.
