Synopsis

A deadly game of cat and mouse. A wish list for murder. One person stands in the way.

When the body of a young woman sparks a manhunt on the streets of Bristol, striking similarities to another murder suggest there is only one detective for the job—old-school maverick DI Robbie Chilcott.

Bitter from a promotional snub and professionally embarrassed by his last failed murder case, DI Chilcott has a chance to restore pride and get even with a brutal serial killer. But after the investigation deepens and the body count rises, realisation dawns that Chilcott is hunting a systematic and lethal adversary.

As a pattern to the killer's chilling purpose takes shape, Chilcott establishes a shocking truth—the victims aren't random—they have been chosen for who they are.

Can Chilcott predict the assassin's next move and prevent further murders, or have the crosshairs already turned on him? 

DEAD RINGER is the gritty first novel in this edge-of-your-seat British crime thriller series full of heart-pounding action and gripping suspense. Perfect for fans of Neil Lancaster, JD Kirk, David J. Gatward, J M Dalgliesh, Alex Smith and Simon McCleave.

À propos de l'auteur

James' life before the pen was as thrilling as the stories he now tells. After two decades of working in the UK criminal justice system, James has lived a life many authors can only research. From the beating heart of CID investigations to the solemn echoes of the courtroom, his deep well of personal experience breathes authenticity into his fast-paced mysteries, filled with realistic characters and complex narratives. His venture into the literary world is as intriguing as his novels. It all began in 2012, following a chance meeting with SAS legend, TV personality, and fellow author Chris Ryan in a busy Bath bar. This serendipitous encounter ignited a passion for storytelling that has since become James' calling. James' novels offer readers a gripping escape into worlds exploring the darkness of human nature and the relentless pursuit of justice. Join him on this nail-biting journey where each page promises another secret waiting to be uncovered.
