THROWN UNDER
THE BUS
Meet Paterson and Clocks. London’s most outrageous detective duo.
Monday morning. 8.30am. Chris Striker has seen it all. But nothing like this. He’s in charge of London’s Traffic Management System. Now he stares at his screen in horror. A woman deliberately steps into the path of an oncoming lorry at Tower Bridge. Killed on impact.
At the same moment, a man steps in front of a bus on London Bridge. Two other people stare at their phones, then launch themselves into the rush hour traffic.
Just who — or what — is controlling them?
Something about Striker’s account doesn’t add up. Detectives Paterson and Clocks race to his flat to interview him — and find the place ransacked. A note is taped to the kitchen door. One word: Retribution.
Paterson and Clocks are about to encounter their most powerful enemy yet. A sinister mastermind with a frighteningly long reach. Are they about to be thrown under the proverbial bus?
JACK KNIFE
A STANDALONE STORY
A pulse-pounding British crime thriller with an astonishing twist.
Detective Bill Roach spent his police career hunting a notorious killer known as Jack the Knife. Now he must re-hone his skills to hunt another equally ruthless killer.
1975
It’s the worst thing Detective Bill Roach has ever seen. A young woman’s body is found beside a busy road. She’s been disembowelled — while she was still alive. Placed on her chest is a cassette player. Inside is a sixty-minute tape, playing just one song over and over again: Mack the Knife.
With his copper’s instincts, Bill knows this isn’t the last they’ll hear of the killer they call Jack the Knife. He’s right. The hunt for Jack won’t end for almost fifty years.
