There comes a time when everyone knows if they’re in over their head. This is DS Regan Carter’s time.
Bradshaw, high up in the OCG, is planning something that’ll net him £4M, but will cost a lot of lives. When it happens, everyone is numbed and shocked.
Regan Carter and DC Gypsy Storm are determined to bring Bradshaw and his men down. One man stands in their way: Eric Clements is a psychotic murderer who isn’t as dumb as they’d hoped. Eric narrowly avoids becoming one of Bradshaw’s victims, and in his haste to prove his loyalty, vows to kill Regan, and Regan still doesn’t know when to walk away.
Regan and Gypsy outwit Bradshaw and think they’ve struck gold in finding him. But instead, they find themselves trapped in a corner, and waiting for them is Eric Clements.

If you’re a fan of crime thrillers with a forensic twist, you’ll love Andrew’s books. He’s been writing gripping stories since 1996, when he became a CSI in Yorkshire. His characters, SOCO Roger Conniston, CSI Eddie Collins, and now DS Regan Carter, are flawed but relentless in their pursuit of justice, facing depraved criminals that lurk in the shadows. You’ll feel like you’re right there with them, solving crimes and catching killers. This is not a sanitized version of crime investigation; there’s no padding, no nonsense, just raw and realistic thrillers with all the blood and gore that comes with it. Better get comfy on the edge of your seat.

Sign up using the form and you can look forward to receiving The End of Lies, a thriller that will leave you gasping, and The Crew, the latest first-person novella by Eddie Collins himself as he tackles not only an armed robbery scene, but some pretty unsavoury characters, too.

Andrew’s quotes


"Use your intuition. Picture how things happen, why they happen. Don’t stick rigidly to first impressions, and once you’ve read the rule book, throw it away. Better still, burn the bastard."— Andrew Barrett
