A serial rapist stalks the streets of Malahide, a genteel coastal town ten miles north of Dublin. The police have few leads, but then someone turns the table on the attacker by targeting his sister. Detective Sean Horan is faced with unravelling a very tangled web. A complex crime thriller set in post-boom Ireland.
AJ Davidson is a traditionally published author and playwright, who, in Spring 2010, made the switch to Indie. He is keen to explore the potential of a rapidly changing publishing world, and is enjoying the closer contact with his readers that e-books afford. Currently writing his first horror story.
AJ has a degree in Social Anthropology. Married for 38 years, he has two children, a Beagle called Bruce, and Dusty, a very mean cat.
Not one for staying long in the same place, AJ has lived in many countries across several continents. He has worked as a pea washer, crane-driver, restaurateur and scriptwriter.
I know he's a fellow Paddy, but I do like his writing style. Set in a small town, Wounded Tiger is a handy summation of the boom and bust culture of Ireland over the last decade. Rape is a touchy subject,and Davidson's handles it skillfully.
First book by this author I have read and I was impressed. Been a few years since I read a thriller type book and this one was a very welcome return to the genre.
