Genre: Thriller While Norfolk police remain one step behind a serial killer, Laurella has problems of her own. A minor car accident when driving her boyfriend's borrowed Mercedes ends their stormy relationship. Alone again with her son, her ex-husband tries returning to the marital home in Lowestoft, his actions proving that he has stopped taking the medication for his personality disorder. At the same time, strange telephone calls and acts of hooliganism start, then mount in intensity. These become more violent and terrifying, but who is behind it all? Is it her angry ex-boyfriend, her obsessive ex-husband or somebody else? When she discovers the truth, the culprit seriously injures the only people who can help. Can she remain alive long enough to save her son, even if that means her own death? If you think this can't happen to you, then think again. This is a stand-alone novel, but Sabre follows on, again, as a stand-alone novel.. Note: Despite the queries, 'Devine' is spelt correctly! (The protagonist's name is Tim Devine, although he also calls himself Ralph De'Ath when he takes on the personna of his dead brother).

Author's Notes: After writing this novel, but prior to publication, two female police officers were stabbed to death in separate incidents. These, and similar incidents, I guess, very quickly led to the police authority issuing instructions that all police officers must wear protective gear, especially when responding to calls. John was correct in this book, but allowed Sarah's haste to ignore common sense. Since that time, they would already have been wearing their protective gear. I was unhappy with the language and sexual references in this novel, and found that if I was uncomfortable with them, then I should write in a way that did not require them. Yet the characters would have been less real if I had allowed these restrictions here. Tim is a 'Hollywood' cliche, so Sabre is about people who are more real. Yet Tim can exist. Perhaps he does. Look in any newspaper. |
