Degrees of Darkness
by Tony J. Forder&“An awesome read . . . put it on a scare factor alongside Stephen King and Thomas Harris&”—from the author of the bestselling DI Bliss series (Books from Dusk till Dawn). Pre-teen girls are being abducted from their homes and their families murdered. When Frank Rogers, once a DI with the Met and now running his own debt collection agency, is told that his own daughter is missing, his son murdered, he naturally wants to become involved with the case. Soon Frank&’s face is all over the news. In an unexpected turn of events, the killer contacts the police and says he is willing to talk, but only to Frank. When the body of the first abducted girl is discovered, Frank realizes it is a race against time to save his daughter. In order to solve the case, Frank must work out how the killer is picking his victims. But how do you catch a murderer who is hiding in plain sight? And can Frank unravel the mystery, when he has so much to lose? &“Beginning with such a petrifying opening chapter, Tony J. Forder sets the tone quickly for a chilling and claustrophobic thriller . . . a brilliant, frenetic read that kept me on the edge of my seat.&” —The Quiet Knitter &“The opening set a decidedly chilling scene . . . Forder steadily draws you deeper and deeper into his web of horror until you find yourself wondering how you would deal with the situation if you were in Frank&’s place . . . I would highly recommend Degrees of Darkness to anyone who loves a slightly dark crime thriller.&” —My Eclectic Reads
