Blood Reckoning

The fourth pageturning DI Jack Brady investigation, a gritty serial killer thriller for fans of Peter James and Tania Carver.

 

In the 1970s, a terrifying serial killer stalked the streets of Tynemouth. The press called him the Joker. The crimes stopped - but the man was never caught. 

And now he's back. 

A body has been found in a sleazy motel room, murdered in exactly the same way as the Joker's first victims. 

Is it a copycat? A trick? Or is the Joker at work once more? 

It's only DI Jack Brady's first day back - and this will be his most twisted case yet. 

As Brady digs into both the old murders and the new, he must confront revenge, betrayal, love and lies...and a truly ruthless killer.

Blind Alley

One near-fatal beating. 
And a deadly score to settle.

There's a serial rapist plaguing the streets of Whitley Bay. Three young women have been horribly abused and his boss and the press are screaming for answers. Everything seems to point to his old friend and foe gangster Martin Madley though Brady still struggles to believe he's capable of such acts. 

With time running out before the villain strikes again Brady must follow every scrap of evidence. But there are forces at work he knows nothing about, and his persistence is leading both him and those close to him ever further into danger...
