Will 2 Kill: The Prequel to Cruel Will Kill

Rate this book
Will 2 KillFor fans of Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting and Guy Ritchie’s underworld classics... a brutal, blackly comic dive into bare-knuckle fights, brothels, and broken lives.

Billy Dark was born fighting. When he crosses paths with Cheryl, their uneasy pact sets a future neither can control.

At Neon Pink’s, Benny (the doorman) and the girls plot, laugh, and survive in their own savage way. And Benny? A walking disaster waiting to go off.

Above them all looms The Judge. King of the enforcers, where violence is currency. His shadow touches everyone.

At the centre is William. Blue-eyed, watchful, learning too much too soon. A boy raised among fists, cruelty, and dark fairy tales... destined to become something far worse.

The prequel to Cruel Will Kill...

...the making of William begins here.

About the author

Paddy Sinnott writes sharp, fast-paced psychological thrillers that peer into the darkest corners of the human mind.

His debut novel Cruel Will Kill (2025) blends disturbing realism with page-turning suspense, drawing inspiration from real-world serial killers and forensic psychology. Exploring themes of nature vs. nurture, trauma, and twisted identity, the book introduces William, a boy fractured by life, rebuilt into something monstrous.

Before turning to fiction, Paddy authored two memoirs—Eejits and Donkeys and The Eejit Strikes Back—both honest, funny accounts of ordinary chaos. Eejits and Donkeys (the first book in the series) was inspired by a real-life Only Fools and Horses-style escapade involving the import of smoking shelters.

When he's not writing, Paddy is either obsessing over true crime documentaries, dreaming up his next villain, or planning dark TikToks (@paddysinnottauthor) to unsettle the internet.

Follow for updates, giveaways, and the occasional unnerving thought.
