The Executioners

by Danny King

Britain reinstates Capital Punishment. Third to hang is notorious serial killer, Jammal Grey, alias the Dulwich Ripper. DI Robert Bowman, the man who led the investigation, becomes an overnight hero following GreyÕs capture. But three weeks after the execution, the nation is stunned when BowmanÕs own daughter is murdered in a copycat killing. Who could have done this? How could this have happened? Bowman knows who. And he knows how. Evidence crucial to GreyÕs conviction was tainted; fabricated by the DI when it looked like Grey might walk. Only Bowman knew of it. Bowman and of course the real killer. For the Ripper is still out there. And now he has a hold over the very man who was supposed to have brought him to justice. Now Bowman must hunt down the Ripper again, although this time he's on his own. Using only his initiative, his experience and his underworld connections, he must find the killer before more young women die. And before the truth comes out.

About the author

Danny King was born in Slough, Berkshire, the second son of Michael and Dorothy King. He and his two brothers, Ralph and Robin, lived on the Britwell Estate until 1979, when they moved to Yateley, Hampshire. He attended Yateley School but failed to gain any qualifications before leaving at the age of 16. He stacked shelves for a short stint in the Yateley branch of Somerfield (then Gateway), before working on various building sites as a hod carrier.
In 1991 he took an Access course at Farnborough College of Technology, which helped him land a place at The London College of Printing studying journalism. Between 1993 and 2002 he worked on various magazine titles, eventually becoming Editor of the Paul Raymond Publications title Mayfair (magazine). He now writes full-time.
In the late 1980s, he was arrested several times and convicted of burglary at Winchester Crown Court and car theft at Camberley Magistrates Court. It is largely due to receiving these convictions that he cites as his reasons for giving education a second go.
