Do you enjoy fast-paced thrillers that make you think? Then you'll love these killer stories from this award-winning author. Featuring damaged - but deadly - ex-CIA assassin, Doug Hunter, and feisty UK journalist, Kate O'Sullivan - a young woman determined to make a name for herself in the cut-throat world of investigative reporting. Find out why James Jones, professional editor with Proof-EdGB, had this to say about The Hangman, the gripping third tale in this "Fantastic book... Now I will be going back to a Jack Reacher novel I'm reading. It has lost some of its appeal after reading The Hangman." These three rapid-fire conspiracy thrillers will take you on a roller-coaster ride involving child exploitation, modern day slavery and organ trafficking, through criminal enterprises rife with drugs and money laundering, to unnecessary wars and genocidal conflicts. This gripping trilogy blends fact and fiction, covering subjects in a way some readers describe as disturbing - yet also fascinating, thrilling and thought-provoking. NB. Not for the faint hearted. The Hack - Who is more evil...? The killer or his victims? UK journalist Kate O'Sullivan puts her life at risk when she exposes an international child-trafficking ring, triggering a CIA hunt for her hacker brother while a renegade agent leaves a bloody trail in his wake... As the CIA closes in, the body count rises. Will Kate and her brother survive unscathed? The Hunter - Everything has a price - including living, breathing human flesh... Kate O'Sullivan investigates the murder of two young Brits on a paradise island - unaware The Hunter, renegade CIA agent turned serial killer, has become obsessed with her. While working with the local police chief, Kate unwittingly crosses two billionaires - men who make a fortune enslaving women like her... Can Hunter redeem himself by protecting the woman he has come to believe he loves? The Hangman - Hunter's back, and this time it could mean war... An explosive adventure featuring a unique bioweapon, Islamist terrorists, corrupt elites, over-ambitious spooks, and ruthless military contractors.

About the author
Will Patching
26 books149 followersWill Patching's approach to writing
Will writes gritty crime stories that mix murder mystery, psychological suspense and intense thrills while offering unique insights into the darker side of human nature. His ‘pull no punches’ style and sparse but often brutal descriptive passages will not suit all readers, so if you are into cozy mysteries you might want to look elsewhere!
With complex plots and rounded characters, Will’s novels are necessarily longer than average, usually well over 100,000 words, so these are definitely stories designed for readers who like to really get their teeth into a good yarn!
Now considered something of an expert on psychopaths, thanks to his extensive research and personal experience of people with this personality disorder, Will set up a popular website to help lay readers understand these destructive individuals and why their existence is so important to society in general. Visit the site here.
Will’s writing draws heavily on this expertise but his novels are designed to entertain rather than educate – though many readers appreciate both aspects of his writing. He is currently working on completing two trilogies, though each novel is a self-contained story.
The first novel in each trilogy, Remorseless and The Hack, are already published, with the sequels due in late 2016 and early 2017 respectively. The third and final instalments are expected by the end of 2017.
Personal background:
Will Patching was born and raised in ‘Sarf Lunnon’, Engerland, or at least, that’s how he pronounces it! Hence, many scenes from his novels are situated in London, the surrounding suburbs and other parts of southeast England, though they also span as far afield as Thailand and the USA.
His approach to writing is to hit the reader with hard truths about the world we live in, and his mysteries, thrillers, and suspense novels are designed to get your pulse pounding. One male reader decided he needed to check his door locks late one night while reading Remorseless and subsequently commented on social media:
‘Seriously scary!’
Will’s eclectic professional experience – from his teenage role as a ‘gardener’ weeding sewage treatment filter beds, through flying a Hawk jet very fast, very low and very dangerously before the RAF realised and booted him out, then attending Harvard on a course for potential CEOs, largely thanks to the Peter Principle of promotion, and more recently, to building his dream, a charter yacht that sank in SE Asian waters – all have led to a rich and varied life, often reflected in his writing.
