The Rule of Fear

The new novel by Luke Delaney, ex-Met detective and author of the terrifyingly authentic DI Sean Corrigan series. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James and Stuart MacBride. Danger lurks on every corner. But the threat comes from within. Tasked with cleaning up the notorious Grove Wood Estate, Sergeant Jack King is determined to rise to the challenge. But it’s not just drug dealers and petty thugs his team have to worry about. Someone is preying on children and they need to hunt down the culprit, fast. Soon King finds himself in over his head: the local residents won’t play ball, and he’s refusing to admit that he’s suffering from PTSD. As the pressures combine, the line between right and wrong starts to blur and King finds himself in a downward spiral. Only he can save himself – but is it already too late? Delaney's mastery in the genre of police procedural fiction is evident in this suspense-filled urban thriller. The mystery of the crime at the heart of the story keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, making The Rule of Fear a top pick for fans of the genre. For fans of Jd Kirk (A Killer of Influence), Chris Carter (The Death Watcher), Mark Billingham (The Wrong Hands), Peter James (One of Us Is Dead), and Angela Marsons (36 Hours).
