Hope Road (John Ray / LS9 crime thrillers Book 1)

Description

You can’t change your past. But what about your future?

When a young woman is found dead in John Ray’s car, he sets out to find the killer. But things get complicated. His best friend and employee, Freddy Metcalfe, is arrested for the murder. Plus a stash of counterfeit money is found in John’s car, and the police seem more interested in that than in the dead girl. Then old family friend Lanny Bride turns up; one of the north’s most ruthless criminals, Lanny is desperate to know who killed the girl. Meanwhile, Freddy is too scared to talk to anyone, even his lawyer.

Uncovering the truth about the girl’s death will force John to confront his own criminal past and risk destroying his future.

Set in Leeds, Hope Road is a novel about deception, trust, and the boundaries of good and bad. It is the first crime thriller in the John Ray / LS9 series.
