About the book
Dr Harrison Lane is everything you wouldn’t expect from a man with a psychology doctorate. For victims, he’s everything they need. They look, but they don’t see… As Head of the Metropolitan Police’s Ritualistic Behavioural Crimes Unit, Dr Harrison Lane knows his Voodoo from his Aum Shinrikyo and a Satanist from a Shaman.
Harrison had an unusual childhood, raised by a bohemian mother and one of the native American Shadow Wolves - the elite tracking squad that works with US Drug enforcers. After his mother’s murder, he dedicated his life to tracking down those who hide behind spiritualism and religion to do evil.
Following the discovery of a missing boy’s body in what looks like a Satanic killing, Harrison is called in to help detectives. When a second boy is snatched, it becomes a race against time to save him, and sees Harrison come face-to-face with some dark secrets from his own childhood.
Review
Dr Harrison Lane wanders around a crime scene like a ghost, haunting the area in search of the truth. To some of the police officers he is perceived as a loon, someone akin to a carnival attraction. Others see his connection and talent for what they are - a useful resource.
He is a man haunted by his own past, which is probably the driver for his need to solve crimes and help victims. His methods are seeped in science, ancient methods and mysticism. The attempts to find a missing boy before he becomes another statistic and a notch on a sick psychos belt are interrupted by flashbacks and visitors from Harrison's past. Will it get in the way of saving a child?
I hope the author delves deeper into the knowledge and methods Harrison brings to the table, when it comes to solving crimes. In combination with his dark past it will make this series even more intriguing. A Wire in the Blood vibe with a skulking demonic essence to it.
With a wee bit more depth, tighter reins and direction on the dual storylines and this intense read will be even more of a draw.
