The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief
A fast-paced, emotionally charged heist thriller, with strong female characters, dealing with themes of self-acceptance, revenge, connection, second chances and redemption.
Alex has a plan for a heist. She’s had it for years and so after her release from prison, it’s the perfect time to carry it out. There’s a secret vault on the top floor of the most prestigious building in the city and she knows how to crack it, but it has to be now…
She must rebuild relationships with the people she lost while she was inside and convince them to help, all whilst being chased by a disgraced cop whose case from years before is being scrutinised as the now notorious thief he put away, who always maintained his innocence, died in prison on the same day Alex was released.
The barrister of the historic case is now an ambitious high court judge who attempts to side-step the scrutiny as she supports her long-term girlfriend, the architect of the prestigious building as she prepares to host the 20th anniversary celebration of it being built.
All three of them will cross paths, uncover truths about what happened all that time ago, and find out if it will impact Alex’s plan, and the outcome of her carefully crafted, meticulous heist.
The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief is out now worldwide on Amazon in paperback and ebook.
My book is now available to buy from different online booksellers such as Blackwells and Barnes and Noble, as well as from a range of ebook sellers like AppleBooks, KOBO and Smashwords. You can find a complete list here on my linktree.
I will be at Indie Pride Book Con on Saturday 9th August at the Mercure Hotel in Manchester and at Birmingham Book Bonanza at Revolucion De Cuba on Saturday 17th August. Please follow the links to find out more about these events and purchase a ticket to come along. There will be a number of other indie authors there with their books so they will both be a great day out to meet authors and have a chat. I'll have copies of The Judge, the Jailer and the Thief available to buy on the day as well as a few other things like bookmarks, stickers, posters and mugs. Please come and say hi! It would be great to meet you and have a chance to discuss my book :) Sign up to my newsletter at the bottom of this page to find out more.
