ABOUT THE REDEEMER

‘REPENT BEFORE YOU DIE … OR MAY YOU NEVER R.I.P.’

Threatening historic markers, vigilante killings, a Jewish community in an English town – what’s the link? The clock is ticking to the next murder.

After witnessing a racist incident in a small Hertfordshire town, journalist Shanna Regan uncovers a series of threatening fake historic markers. Each of these commemorative plaques highlights someone’s misdemeanour rather than a good deed. Delving deeper, Shanna discovers these historic markers are linked to vigilante killings spanning several decades, with ties to the local Jewish community. As her search for the truth becomes personal, Shanna puts her own life in danger. Can she stop the next murder in time?

This compelling, thought-provoking crime novel features themes of prejudice and racism, heritage and identity, revenge and redemption, and secrets from the past.

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATE

‘THE BODY COUNT IS RISING … AND GETTING FAR TOO CLOSE’

A missing architect. An interfaith charity project. Vandalism and online threats. Can racist slogans lead to kidnap – or even murder?

When an architect vanishes in East London, her concerned fiancé asks journalist Shanna Regan to find her. The missing woman has been leading an interfaith Jewish-Muslim charity project that’s become the target of malicious damage and racist threats.

After Shanna witnesses a teenage girl fall to her death, she’s convinced the architect’s disappearance is also linked to a local youth outreach project. And then another woman is reported missing.

Amid rising local tensions, danger appears to be lurking around every corner. Even the safest sanctuaries seem to be hiding the darkest secrets. As Shanna uncovers a tangled web of lies, she puts her own life on the line. Will she find the missing architect before it’s too late?
