2024: THE CLOCK IS TICKING. THERE’S NO ESCAPE.
DCI Jack Parker has faced down hardened villains and raving, drug-addled lunatics. He’s disarmed a machete-wielding psychopath and broken devastating news of a loved one’s death more times than he can remember.
With a serial killer stalking the Newcastle streets and one of his closest colleagues lying in the mortuary following a hit and run he thinks things are about as tough as they’ve ever been. But he should know that trouble always comes in threes.
Jack is about to face the biggest challenge of his life, one that will end his career and destroy his family: Early Onset Dementia.
As he does everything he can to hide his deteriorating condition from his family and colleagues, Jack believes that the serial killer is haunted by his childhood while his own memories are built on increasingly shifting sands.
The race against time to save lives, including his own, has begun.
Whilst staying within the realms of the police procedural genre, this cracking thriller will explore character in depth and with sensitivity, as well as with the author’s trademark dark humour.
Newcastle
The author says:
“Newcastle is a fabulous, vibrant city, especially around the East End, where I have lived for the last thirty years. In recent times the place has been completely rejuvenated, particularly around the area where the Ouseburn flows down to the River Tyne, with umpteen restaurants, bars and artists’ studios popping up in all kinds of previously unused locations, many of which feature in The Silent Killer.”
