"I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much blood." LAPD Detective Sam Leroy (first seen in Something to Die For) is called to a murder scene in affluent Malibu. At the scene even he is taken aback by the savagery of the crime. Furthermore, there seems to be no motive, and therefore no obvious suspect. Leroy believes the two victims hold the key to their own murder, and begins his investigations with them. Before long, the trail leads Leroy to the island of Catalina, and a children’s home which has held a terrible secret for the past thirty years…
Philip Cox was born and raised in the UK seaside city of Southend on Sea, which lies forty miles east of London.
After graduating from High School, he began a career in UK Banking and Financial Services, and spent the next decades working his way through the ranks, finally becoming a Branch Manager of a major UK bank.
Philip left banking after the birth of his first child to be a stay-at-home father, and it was during this time that, in between changing diapers/nappies, he began to write his first novel, ‘After the Rain’.
Now having written sixteen books, he is based in the county of Hertfordshire, some twenty miles north of London, with his wife and two daughters.
During his spare time (what spare time there is between school runs and writing!), Philip enjoys indulging his interest in Model Railroading/Railways.
He is tall and slim, has a few grey hairs, and wishes he could get to the gym more often.
Every one of the Phillip Cox books I have read, now six , have been awesome mysteries. I will buy any book I find by this author he writes the best mysteries I have ever seen. Again I give a full five-star review
