‘
Harry likes pretty things. He likes to look at them. Sometimes that isn’t enough. He wants to get closer. Naughty Harry.’
Introducing DI Charlotte Savage: woman, mother and crime fighter.
‘We’re going to find them, sort them, pay them back …’
DI Charlotte Savage is back chasing a killer with a very personal grudge …
‘He could be out there right now. Passing you on the street. You’d never know …’
DI Charlotte Savage is back, chasing a killer who was last at large ten years ago, a killer they presumed dead … Now he’s back and more dangerous than ever.
‘Four murders in not much more than a week. Was that acceptable?’
DI Charlotte Savage is back. And this might just be her toughest case yet …
Two Evils was a bit of a monster to write. Many-headed and with a vicious sting in the tail. Thanks must go to Katy Loftus for being the first to attack the beast I had created. She was followed by two other fearless souls prepared to go into combat in the name of narrative cohesion, namely Natasha Harding and Polly Lyall Grant. Last, but definitely not least, my editor Caroline Kirkpatrick, oversaw the whole battle from the first cut to the coup de grâce and managed to keep a smile on her face amid the carnage. Thank you!
Enough with the metaphors.
I’m grateful to everyone else at Avon/HarperCollins who worked on the book. There are dozens of people behind the scenes who never get a mention but without whom the pages in front of you would be blank. They too deserve a shout out.
My agent, Claire Roberts, ensures I can afford the occasional dollop of pickle to go with my working lunch of cheese sandwiches. Thanks, Claire!
Finally, thank you, as always, to my wife and daughters for their love and support. Without them Charlotte Savage would never have got past the front doors of the police station.
