Ex-DCI Luke Sackville investigates nefarious activities at Wessex Police at the request of the Chief Constable. He and his Ethics Team put their own lives at risk as they seek to unveil the guilty.
Luke is horrified when he discovers that a long-established secret society is behind the corruption and is planning a series of attacks on the public. He finds himself in a race against time to identify and capture the secret society’s members before innocent people are murdered on an unprecedented scale.
The Corruption Code is the fourth nail-biting book in the Luke Sackville Crime Series.
If you like a team you can root for, you’ll love this pause resister. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, LJ Ross, JM Dalgleish, David J Gatward and Alex Smith.
SJ Richards (Steve, to those who know him) grew up in Bath, which probably explains why he can’t stop setting crime fiction there. After a career in business outsourcing, he took early retirement and finally had the excuse he needed to write the series he had always wanted to read: fast-paced, character-driven crime thrillers rooted in the places he knows and loves. He now lives in Somerset with his wife and two cocker spaniels. His daughter is the psychological thriller writer Abby Davies, which is both an inspiration and a challenge.
The Luke Sackville series is now into double figures, with more books on the way. Luke, a former DCI turned corporate ethics professional, navigates a world that feels familiar to Steve, even if the murder rate at his former employer was considerably lower. The series has over 10,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. If you haven’t yet met Luke Sackville, Taken to the Hills is the place to start.
