Fog on the Tyne

Jack Renton was on a rare vacation when he was asked to return and check out a body which had been recovered from the River Tyne. He initially refused. When apprised of the victim’s mutilation, he became obsessed with an old case, from which he still suffered flashbacks. His team was concerned at such a delusional pursuit, but then a second body was discovered. Was a copycat killer responsible?

Frankenstein.com is the sequel to Resident Fear. Two years on from arresting the serial killer involved, a new challenge faces D.C.I. Renton. The story is once again set in the Northeast of England, but this case appears to be more complicated than expected, compared with the stepwise murders of a serial killer. Several victims have apparently been simultaneously selected for a common purpose.

Resident Fear is a crime thriller set in the Northeast of England in 2018, after Britain was expelled from the European Union. The body of a wealthy Industrialist is found draped at the base of the iconic sculpture - The Angel of the North. D.C.I. Jack Renton soon realises it is no ordinary homicide, it has the hallmarks of a serial killer. Civil unrest and political apathy stoke the fear.
