Synopsis

Youths disappearing from the streets. Smashed bodies ejected into the River Aire. And CSI Eddie Collins is about to find out how they died.

Abandoned by a malicious wife and tormented by a hateful boss, the only thing keeping CSI Eddie Collins sane is his job. When a dead youth is found on a Leeds street, the trail leads him to a killer adept at disposing of those who don’t deserve anything better. And sometimes that includes unfortunate police officers who get too close.
Eddie finds himself on the killer’s wrong side, forced to watch a colleague slowly dying in a vicious trap. The only way to save him is to make a deal – deliver the killer’s real target.

The most dangerous deal is the one you can't refuse.

The Pain of Strangers is the first in a series of gripping crime thrillers featuring everyone's favourite CSI, Eddie Collins, and one that will keep you captive to the very last page. Get it now and enjoy the chase.

“If you’re a fan of crime thrillers, beware, this book will drag you in and keep you hostage until the very last page.”
