Godless Creatures

Godless Creatures #2

by Gabriel Blake

It has been three years since the massacre at Sablefall Farm and life has slowly returned to normal in the small North Yorkshire town of Helmsley. Mass murderer Harper Darmody remains at large, presumed dead and Elaine is now settled with her children. She secretly harbours her brother and the siblings continue to hand out their own brand of justice to those responsible for their childhood trauma and the ensuing cover-up. Their revenge, however, does not go smoothly and DCI Harry Baxendale is closing in.
Lenny Grey, a former investigative reporter, turned novelist, is hired by Elaine to find the man responsible for killing her son, eight years previous. When his old friend DCI Colin Hargreaves reaches out following the discovery of two boys pulled from a boating lake, Lenny teams up with the detective to track down the killer. Together, they uncover something far more sinister than they could ever have imagined.
Love looms for both Lenny and the ever-changing Harper, who seeks a new beginning and redemption for his past crimes. With another young boy missing and events spiralling out of control, time is running out for everybody involved as Elaine, Harper, Lenny and Tom form an unlikely alliance to stop the depraved child killer.
And what is in the small wooden box?

About the author

My preferred genre is psychological thrillers. I love all the plotting involved in creating a story with twists, turns, and jaw-dropping moments. Some would say my writing is aimed more toward horror-thriller.
I love to read books by Stephen King, Mark Billingham, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Jeffery Deaver, Val McDermid, Peter James, and Teresa Driscoll to mention a few.
I also love movies like Seven, The Shining, Misery, LA Confidential, Silence of the Lambs and almost everything from John Hughes in the 80s and early 90s. I was a huge Brat Pack fan. Tv shows include the likes of Silent Witness, Endeavour, Line of Duty, Luther, Vera, Breaking Bad, You, Game of Thrones, True Detective, Fargo, and similar.

Most of my working life has been in property maintenance, apart from a short spell as a postman. I hope to become a full-time writer in the coming year or years, as may well be the case.

I was born in southeast London but am now living in Kent with my wife, mother-in-law, and three cats. Tilly, Mrs. Slocombe, and Mr. Tibbs.
