Book Description

February 9, 2009
In this brilliant first thriller, in the vein of Peter James, a killer goes on the rampage in a quiet Sussex village, leaving only one witness — a woman fighting for her life.

On a cold January morning, a nightmare awaits a small Sussex village. A deranged young man goes on the rampage, shooting everyone in his path before taking his own life. It is a senseless, tragic event, but sadly not an unfamiliar one.

At least, that’s what everyone thinks. Only Julia Trent — believed to be the sole survivor — knows that there was a second man involved. But after being shot and badly injured, her account of the massacre is ignored.

But she cannot let it rest there. Together with Craig Walker, the journalist son of one of the victims, Julia sets out to find the truth. As they peel back the layers of a dark and dangerous conspiracy, they discover the slaughter didn’t begin on that bitter day in January. And worst of all, it won’t end there.


From the Trade Paperback edition.

More About the Author

Tom Bale has had a variety of jobs including retail assistant, claims negotiator and project manager, but none was as exhausting as the several years he spent as a househusband with two pre-school children. Tom has been writing since the age of seven, and completed his first novel at fifteen. After twenty years and hundreds of rejection slips he landed an agent and a book deal with Random House, and he now writes full-time. He lives in Brighton with his family and swims in the sea as often as the weather permits. He also enjoys walking, cycling and reading, and he probably spends far too much time on the internet. Visit his website at www.tombale.net or follow him on Facebook.

This is a riveting read, and a wonderful first novel by Tom Bale. I could not put it down. The plot is full of twists and turns and holds your attention and imagination the whole time. It is a great read and a real page turner! Will certainly be looking out for more from this writer!

This review is from: Skin and Bones (Hardcover)
This is a fabulous first novel. Often I'm a bit reluctant to buy first novels but after reading this brilliant book I'm glad I gave it a go. Can't wait to get my hands on Tom Bale's new thriller. I was left utterly breathless in the beginning of the book and the rest did not disappoint. Anyone wanting a new and deserving thriller author...well like me, you've found one. This book matches those of my favourite "new" author, Brian Freeman.
