Thriller number three in the DCI Gerald Croft series is in the final stages of editing before its release. As before, plotting has involved a great deal of research, and my thanks are due to friends all over the world who use their expertise to answer my questions.

The main thread is kidnap, but Derrick is truly evil and manipulative, as opposed to gentle Hector in Deadly Envy, a crook who intended to help his suicidal sister, but meant his victims no harm.

If you have yet to meet DCI Croft, why not start with Shattered Lives and Deadly Envy? Both are free to borrow with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Honest reviews are always welcome.
