TOE THE LINE

DC JAKE TANNER CRIME THRILLER – BOOK 1

Candice Strachan can’t breathe.
The device is suffocating her.
The men who put it there have left her to die.
The countdown to save her has begun…

After being seconded from Croydon CID, DC Jake Tanner is forced to trade the crime-ridden streets of London for the suburban settings of Guildford.

But when a robbery by masked gunmen goes wrong, he finds himself propelled into a case that’s every bit personal as it is deadly.

Armed with unique information no one else in the team possesses, it soon falls to Jake to capture the masked group before they seal the shop owner’s fate.

But as the investigation develops, Jake learns there’s a more insidious evil lurking behind the mask.

An evil that’s spread to his new team…

An evil that threatens to change his life and career forever…

This first in the series crime story is excellent. It is not a whodunnit or a conventional murder story but murder is incorporated by the armed robbery of a jewellery shop. From there it becomes a race against time to catch the gang. Loved it. It’s easy to read and is multilayered.
