"Ifyou can handle it, then you’re in for a crazy, amazing read..."

The first book in the Jericho trilogy, WE ARE THE HANGED MAN, is part crime, part thriller, part reality TV pastiche, part Da Vinci Code-esque ancient order conspiracy novel, magnificently ludicrous, and just about close enough to real life to be entirely believable.

Durrant was the most brutal, psychotic killer the Met had ever come across. Captured in the early '80s, he should have been in prison for the rest of his life. Someone had other ideas.

Thirty years later, DCI Jericho, the man who put Durrant away, is working in quiet anonymity in the West Country, living with the guilt of the one case he never solved: the disappearance of his own wife. The Hanged Man tarot card that arrives in the mail seems to be a trivial joke, but it’s only the beginning. Soon people are disappearing, and Durrant is back to his old ways.

Suddenly Jericho is being thrown to the wolves. The noose tightens, the body count rises, and events spin helplessly towards a shocking and bloody climax.
