Produktbeschreibung

'A haunting Canal Way. A killer seeking an audience and revenge. A terrifying game of cat-and-mouse, played out by a detective who's a werewolf and an ancient Kanaima demon.' By the time Detective George Reynolds arrives at a savage murder crime scene for his first case, he already has that sinking feeling. 'This is going to be bad, real bad,' Reynolds thinks as he discovers the killer has taken the victim's tongue as a souvenir. In its place, the killer leaves a small scroll and the first message in a series of harrowing taunts driven by revenge and the sheer thrill of the kill. What first appears to anyone else as a straightforward murder is anything, but, as Reynolds discovers, there's a demon loose on the streets of London. Even worse, it's being controlled by an elusive puppeteer that has the detectives guessing until the very end. The tragedy of the first body quickly unfolds into a heart-pounding serial-and a terrifying battle to stop the bloodshed. An impending blood moon adds a layer of complications, with Detective Reynolds anticipating the next step of his evolution. Can he juggle both? And can he and his partner, DS Michael Dalton, flush the mastermind of it all into the open-the details matter-A case full of twists and turns with danger at every turn. The case peaks when one of their own is kidnapped, leaving the detectives fearing the worst over the life of pathologist Ellena Walker. This is when Reynolds realises the killer had made their first mistake. They'd targeted the wrong person this time, as Ellena Walker is no pushover, leaving a series of clues for the detectives to follow. The game reaches the final showdown. All cards are laid bare. It will take everything Reynolds has to give and then some if he is to save more bloodshed and rid the world of a sinister demon. Who will survive? What will the blood moon do to Detective Reynolds? This is the next dangerous step into the realm of the supernatural for George Reynolds. Do you dare to join him?

Autorenporträt

My journey as a writer began years ago, kindled by an early fascination with English literature and language, a passion ignited during my GCSE studies. It was the timeless narrative of 'Of Mice and Men' that first captured my imagination, leading me down a path forever intertwined with storytelling. As life unfolded, I explored various passions and embraced the responsibilities of adulthood. I navigated through life's complexities, finding joy and fulfilment in raising two wonderful sons. Now, as they step into their journeys, I've been graced with the opportunity to revisit my first love: writing. My ambition is to craft immersive worlds that readers can lose themselves in, worlds where the lines between the supernatural, crime thrillers, and horror blur into an irresistible tapestry of intrigue and character-driven narratives. "Secrets in the Bones," my fourth novel, marks a significant milestone in my writing career. It represents not just another story but a venture outside my comfort zone, being the first work I've presented to agents and publishers. With a treasure trove of stories waiting to be told, my journey as an author is far from over. I am currently immersed in writing "The Cursed Knights - the Book of the Dead," a foray deeper into the horror genre. Each new story is an adventure, an opportunity to explore the uncharted realms of imagination, and a chance to connect with readers who share my love for the mysterious and the macabre.
