    About this ebook

    A series of increasingly violent assaults is shrouding the happy-go-lucky resort of Blackpool in a veil of terror. It seems only a matter of time before one of these brutal attacks leads to the ultimate crime - murder. The police response, coordinated by an increasingly harassed DCI Henry Christie seems to be getting nowhere fast and the public are growing restless. Then, with the gruesome discovery of a young girl's body, and the abduction of another, Henry finds himself heading a high-profile, nationally scrutinised investigation which stretches his reputation and credibility to breaking point as he finds himself pitted against a devious killer from his past, and, of course, his own inner demons.

      Fast-paced crime set in authentic locations in and around Blackpool. DCI Henry Christie isn't a popular man with his superior who tries everything to make his life difficult starting with a tough assignment to catch a child abductor with an impossibly short deadline to get a result. Part of Henry's unpopularity is his unconventional methods, which frequently deliver results. A series not for the sqeamish or sensitive.
