Evidence is one thing; the truth is another.

A tormented past shapes his twisted future; driven by hate he relentlessly pursues his quest: to expunge her from his psyche. Using DNA as his camouflage he knows it is unlikely he will ever be caught. He can slaughter at will the women he needs to quell the rage that burns inside him. He has been honing his skill for decades and now he is at the peak of his powers. Nothing and no one will stop him achieving his ultimate goal: to eradicate a memory that drives his nightmares.

But he, himself, is the subject of another man’s nightmares.

DCI Fran Pearson has been haunted by one case for over a decade. His inability to catch the serial killer known as The Charmer not only threatens an unblemished career it also threatens to send Pearson over the edge into an oblivion he has no way to return from. The evil and brutal killer has slipped through his grasp time and time again and appears to be further away than ever. But this time will be different. This time he will extinguish the cold, man shaped hole in his soul, forever.

Witness first hand the killer’s bloody and savage rise from disturbed young man to a ruthless psychopath; feel his pain and delve into the depths of his tortured psyche. At the same time follow Pearson’s ferocious desire to catch his tormentor.

Foreign Bodies is a rollercoaster ride of a crime thriller that will horrify and grip the reader from the first page right to its shocking finale.

This book is not for the fainthearted!

Having always had a passion for reading and occasionally writing short stories, circumstance and a desire to do something different with his life led to the decision to try writing full time. Teaming up with long-time friend Spike Breakwell they set out to see if they could make it in the notoriously difficult writing market.
