‘RUTTER’ BOOKS

In 1888, Jack the Ripper, prowls London’s East End, leaving bloody slaughter in his wake. A century later, History repeats itself. Marie Kelly is haunted by horrifying dreams in which she is pursued through the gloomy alleyways by a dark shadow that seeks to destroy her, as it once did her near-namesake, Mary Jane Kelly. Marie experiences Mary’s terror and despair as her own.

Nine years have passed since the then Detective Constable Julie Rutter faced a modern-day Jack The Ripper as he made to destroy his final victim, Marie Kelly, in ‘Chained in Time’. Rutter, now a Chief Inspector, returns to London to find herself investigating three murders, all committed with the same weapon, but not by the same killer. Letters are delivered from the killer.

Several months on from the dramatic shootout on Box Hill, D.C.I. Julie Rutter’s nemesis is due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey. That will see him out of her life forever. Or will it? Nothing is quite as it seems in this new thriller as Julie’s past comes back to haunt her yet again, and places her life, as well of those of the people she loves, on the line again.

Following on from her narrow brush with death at the hands of psychopathic genius, Kevin Mallory, Detective Chief Inspector Julie Rutter finds herself pitted against an even greater foe on a larger canvas than ever before. Literally. Assigned to investigate a major Art theft, she discovers that the case crosses frontiers and takes her to the Austrian Alps, where an even more sinister scenario begins to emerge.

Julie Rutter has left the police force and begun her quest to bring down neo-Nazi serial killer and terrorist, Julian Radcliffe, assisted by her friend, Trudi Hammond and the newly released Terrry Fisher, a hacker.

‘The Secret Angels’ begins where the previous Rutter book, ‘Rutter’s Revolt’ left off: a mere two days later, on Christmas Morning 1998.
