The Pool

Twelve-year-old Erica is nearly orphaned when her father, Charles Sterling, is uncovered as one of the country’s most notorious serial killers. Twenty years later she has tried to move on by becoming a dedicated and committed homicide detective, while leaving him to rot in jail.
But the past proves difficult to escape. When Sterling makes a startling announcement from his prison cell, she is faced with an impossible choice. Another killer has contacted him, giving the details of a string of murders he has already begun to commit. Her father promises to give the police everything they need to catch him, but he will only do so to Erica herself, in person. Should Erica deny his request and let others die, or will she face the man she has hidden from her whole life?

When she chooses the selfless option she soon realises Charles Sterling hasn’t changed at all. He has no intention of giving away what he knows cheaply, and instead seems hell-bent on playing with the police, doing everything he can to disrupt their investigation from within.
But what does Charles Sterling really hope to achieve with his sadistic games? And will his daughter be able to find out soon enough to stop him? Or is she walking blindly into a trap that only one person could have set?

The Pool is the second instalment in the DCI Erica Stone series, set in and around the county of Dorset on the South Coast of England, and written by #1 bestselling Amazon author Gregg Dunnett. The Pool is due out early 2022, but might be sooner if #1 bestselling Amazon author Gregg Dunnett pulls his finger out…

Gregg Dunnett writes twist-packed psychological thrillers set where the land meets the sea – a habit born of years chasing waves as a windsurfing journalist and all-round beach-bum. His novels include the Amazon #1 bestsellers “The Wave at Hanging Rock” and “The Things You Find in Rockpools” (now in development for TV) and the Audible #1 hit “Little Ghosts”.

After twenty years on England’s south coast, Gregg, his partner María (who translates the books into Spanish), their two kids and a daft Labradoodle named Loki set off on another adventure – moving to Spain to draw artistic inspiration from the moody Cantabrian mountains and the wild Atlantic coast. Plus the food’s really good.
