Blood Hunt

Joe didn't go looking for trouble, but sometimes trouble found him.

Joe Clayton thought the dangers of his undercover career were behind
him. He was wrong. One grey October morning, while working in a quiet
Bristol street, he hears the voice of the man who has sworn to destroy
him.

Minutes later Joe is running for his life... again. Desperate for
sanctuary, he heads for the small Cornish town of Trelennan, and the
home of Fiona Bamber, widow of a former police colleague. But Fiona
reacts strangely to his arrival, and gradually Joe discovers that
Trelennan is far from the idyllic, law-abiding resort it claims to be.

The town is in the grip of one man. Leon Race does not welcome
strangers, especially ex-cops who start asking questions about missing
women. Soon Joe is caught up in another undercover role, but as he
penetrates the web of secrets that ensnares the town's elite, his own
secret is at risk of discovery. And all the time his old enemy is
circling...

Praise for Tom Bale:

'A fantastic thriller. Gripped me from the first page and didn't let
go. Tom Bale is the British Harlan Coben.' John Carson

'Tom Bale is one of the best British thriller writers around.'
Simon Kernick

'A masterclass in nail-biting tension and a true page turner, but
that's not all. Bale sensitively explores themes of revenge, grief and
fatherhood and gives us very well-developed characters and surprising
twists.' Bestselling author K. L. Slater
