Driven by Desire: A DCI Hastings Crime Thriller

by E M Locke

A gripping crime thriller set in North Lincolnshire



Five years ago, DCI Jack Hastings stopped a cunning serial child killer in London, earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage.



Now, he spends his days working in North Lincolnshire's Major Investigations Team and his nights reliving the horrors of what he saw.



When Ella Skinner's daughter goes missing from a Scunthorpe housing estate, the police and local community act quickly to organise a search.



Given the child's age, DCI Jack Hastings concludes that Daisy has been abducted.



Similarities between the case in London, and the case in Scunthorpe, grow. So, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?



And, if so, has the serial child killer claimed another victim?


Driven by Desire is the explosive debut crime thriller from EM Locke, an exciting new voice in British crime fiction.

[John Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book in the end. There were type errors throughout this book but the storyline was okay. A good gripping ending and I will certainly consider more books by this writer. Jack is a good but damaged detective.
