Killing Jericho (Scott Jericho #1) by William Hussey


From Goodreads

Murder this twisted demands a new kind of detective

Fresh out of prison, former Detective Constable Scott Jericho is a desperate man.

Disgraced and penniless after his assault on a violent suspect, he is forced to seek refuge with the fairground family he once rejected. Now, troubled by his failure, Jericho’s brilliant mind stagnates.

That is until a series of bizarre murders reawaken his interest. Men and women with no obvious link to each other are being ritualistically slaughtered.

Slaughtered in ways that recall an old legend of the Jericho Travelling Fair.

Now, in a race against time, he must unpick the threads of a baffling mystery. But as his investigation unfolds and the corpses pile up, a shocking truth awaits him. A revelation that will test not only Jericho’s intellect but challenge the very core of his morality... 

,My thoughts

This was a book that I grabbed from my local Library.  The author is aka Will Harker, he has written books in both names and in different genres..  As far as I can see, this is the first book that I have read by this author.    

Telling the story of Scott Jericho a former Detective Constable who is fresh out of prison.  How the hell is he going to fit back into normal life?  He has had a chequered past and has secrets that he needs to overcome in order to move forward and make a new life for himself.   

I enjoyed the story and the relationship that developed between the characters.  I look forward to reading the next in this series and seeing where Scott Jericho is likely to take us, as he is a man with issues that he needs to overcome.
