Apostle Rising, published in 2011, met with excellent reviews worldwide and sold foreign rights throughout Europe. In it Detective Castle is faced with a copycat killer with detailed inside knowledge of a case he failed to solve. The killer is crucifying politicians. Castle enters a deadly labyrinth, and at its centre is the man he believes was responsible for the first killings. He's running a sinister cult and playing dark mind games with the police.
