The Executioners
Following a referendum, Britain reinstates Capital Punishment for the crime of murder. Third to hang is notorious serial killer, Jammal Grey, alias the Dulwich Ripper. Acting Detective Chief Inspector Robert Bowman, the man who led the investigation, becomes an overnight hero.
But three weeks after the execution the nation is stunned when Bowman’s own daughter is brutally murdered in a copycat killing. Who could have done this? How could this have happened? Bowman knows who. And he knows how. Evidence crucial to Grey’s conviction was tainted; fabricated by the DCI to ensure a conviction when it looked like Grey was walking. Only Bowman and loyal Sergeant Hooper knew of it. Only Bowman, Hooper and of course, the real killer.
For the Dulwich Ripper is still out there. And now he has a hold over the very men who were supposed to have brought him to justice.
Bowman and Hooper must hunt down the Ripper all over again, although this time they’re on their own. Using only their initiative, their experience and their underworld connections, they must find the killer before more young women start to die.
And before the truth comes out.
Genre: Crime noir fiction – non-humourous.

About the author
Danny King
39 books50 followersDanny King was born in Slough, Berkshire, the second son of Michael and Dorothy King. He and his two brothers, Ralph and Robin, lived on the Britwell Estate until 1979, when they moved to Yateley, Hampshire. He attended Yateley School but failed to gain any qualifications before leaving at the age of 16. He stacked shelves for a short stint in the Yateley branch of Somerfield (then Gateway), before working on various building sites as a hod carrier.
In 1991 he took an Access course at Farnborough College of Technology, which helped him land a place at The London College of Printing studying journalism. Between 1993 and 2002 he worked on various magazine titles, eventually becoming Editor of the Paul Raymond Publications title Mayfair (magazine). He now writes full-time.
In the late 1980s, he was arrested several times and convicted of burglary at Winchester Crown Court and car theft at Camberley Magistrates Court. It is largely due to receiving these convictions that he cites as his reasons for giving education a second go.
