Not for the faint of heart, 'BANSHEE' is a dark horror story that is fast paced and full of gruesome twists and turns. The book is set to the backdrop of a serial child killer case in which the murderer has never been caught. To survive, each of the characters must uncover and face a terrifying mystery which stalks a small town, hidden away in Northeast England. Backstory
As a deadly virus raged through a small industrial town in the Northeast of England, Detective Daniel Gray had failed the biggest case of his career, a child killer case no less. By letting five innocent children die at the hands of a paedophilic monster, he had become responsible for the most horrendous atrocity the Tees Valley had ever known. Present day and his shredded reputation is the least of his worries as he tries to pick up the pieces of his professional career. Just weeks after the 'Pig Tail' murders and Daniel is faced with another killer. A killer who is removing internal organs from his victims and leaving no physical evidence, not even blood. Tasked with finding the murderer alongside his new inexperienced partner from London, the young detectives must discover the horrific link between the murders and the true nature of the Necrovirus before it is too late. Pretty soon the two become entangled in a decaying world whilst the British government do whatever it takes to contain the virus within the Tees Valley area. However, as the Necrovirus starts to have unusual effects on their unsuspecting human host, the military are forced to take more extreme measures before the viruses' true potential is realised. Characters
The book follows four very flawed characters in their attempt to escape the Tees Valley area whilst they strive to find what it means to be human in a world which is becoming increasingly non-human. A disgraced detective, an alcoholic police officer, a failing microbiologist and an angry teenage girl whose father is by all definitions a paedophilic monster, come together in a twist of fate as they try to escape the deadly Necrovirus and the internal monster it creates. Detective Daniel Gray - having recently moved to the Tees Valley area, Daniel is thrust into a child killer case. Daniel's inability to catch the killer in time leaves him responsible for the deaths of missing girls in the area, five of which have never been recovered. As the Necrovirus strikes the area, he must face the personal failings of his past if he is to helps others survive the apocalypse. Daniel must reconcile the differences he has with his partner, the outspoken Detective Lucy Tellman, and not repeat his previous mistakes. Doctor Sarah Ann Middleton - Adopted as a child and brought up in a strict religious upbringing. Sarah is a onetime successful Microbiologist who is struggling with her professional and personal life. As the Necrovirus spreads, Sarah must reconcile with the secret she carries or face the consequences. Hannah Rift - A former grade A-Grade student at the Outreach Academy. Hannah's life is turned upside down with the disappearance of her father and breakdown of her mother. She is angry, strong willed and head strong. Hannah must reconcile the difficult truth about her father if she is to uncover the truth that connects her to the child killer case. Tom Chambers - A former police officer, Tom's daughter is abducted and killed just before Christmas which leads Tom's wife to take her own life. Tom spends his time drunk and contemplating his former life which was taken from him. When the Necrovirus infects the area, Tom reluctantly becomes the unofficial guardian of Hannah Rift while internally struggling with that responsibility. Tom must reconcile the fact that he was not responsible for the abduction and death of Rosie his daughter. - Enjoy the book and thanks for reading.
