Michael Fowler Boeken
Voortbouwend op een carrière van tweeëndertig jaar als rechercheur, duikt Michael in zijn schrijfwerk in de grimmige realiteit van misdaad. Zijn intieme confrontaties met gevaarlijke individuen en aangrijpende zaken vormen de basis voor romans die geen zachte oplossingen bieden. Zijn verhalen verkennen onbevreesd de donkerdere aspecten van de menselijke natuur, wat resulteert in verhalen die allesbehalve mild zijn.
Taking a well-earned break from the 'Dearne Valley Demon' case, Detective Sergeant Hunter Kerr's rest is suddenly shattered when he witnesses a violent argument involving his father, shortly followed by a murderous road-rage attack upon his parents. As he delves deeper, Hunter uncovers disturbing facts and suspects that his father is harbouring a sinister secret from his past; a secret, which he is desperate to keep buried. In his father's native Scotland a sadistic and violent killer is on the rampage. Three retired detectives are found tortured and butchered. Is there a link? Or, is it someone who just likes killing cops?Hunter pushes and pushes to learn the truth, never realising just how much danger he was placing himself, and those around him in. In Barnwell, Hunter's working partner, DC Grace Marshall, recovering from her own psychological problems arising out of the 'Demon' serial-killer investigation, is 'acting sergeant' in his absence and soon finds herself in charge of her first major incident; a young woman's battered body is dragged from the freezing waters of the local country park.
