A Deadly Crash
A rainy night in London. It seems that an act of casual gang violence has cost an innocent victim their life. But the reality is even more chilling ...
A Dangerous Quest
A pregnant woman struggles desperately to uncover the truth, and makes herself a target in the process. Just weeks from giving birth, how will she survive in a world where death is an occupational hazard?
A Shocking Twist
In a city where teenage gangs clash with career criminals and where loyalty is paid for in blood, anything is possible. Secrets are uncovered as fast as bodies, and the story’s final twist is as breathtakingly surprising as they come.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
A stand-alone novel that’s set in the Tom Thorne universe, this is an interesting novel with a unique central character but the twist is too easy to guess. Nevertheless, I’d like to know more about Helen Weeks and she’s definitely a strong enough character to justify her own series.
