'Anyone can become famous. It takes something special to be infamous.'
Those are the words of YouTuber, Tik Tok star, influencer, and media darling Xander McStay.
With fame comes power, and with power comes temptation; a temptation which so easily lures others into the web of a predator.
Those are the words of YouTuber, Tik Tok star, influencer, and media darling Xander McStay.
With fame comes power, and with power comes temptation; a temptation which so easily lures others into the web of a predator.
Acting DI Ryan Jarrod, his private life turned upside down by the arrival of a visitor he neither knows nor cares for, prepares for the biggest career challenge of his life in the shadow of a doubting senior officer. Jarrod has to convince his Superintendent that a tip-off about McStay's activities is a case worth pursuing before leading his team into an investigation into one of Newcastle upon Tyne's favourite sons.
As betrayal, abuse of power, and manipulation unfurls behind the closed doors of undercover city centre parties, it's for Ryan Jarrod to discover if McStay himself is the predator or whether one of his entourage sees McStay as bait or prey.
Think of Ann Cleeves or LJ Ross with the gritty, urban twist of Ian Rankin and Peter James - that's the Ryan Jarrod series: explosive crime fiction in the mould of traditional dark thrillers. What people are saying about the Ryan Jarrod series:
'Narrative so rich you can smell the Tyne'
'Crying out to be a TV series or motion picture!'
'Just when you think you've seen all the plot twists, another one comes along!'
'A Geordie Rebus'
'Colin Youngman has the uncanny knack of seamlessly blending fact with fiction. Another blinder of a novel'
'A real page-turner'
'A rollicking, edge-of-the-seat read.' The Ryan Jarrod novels are standalone stories though are best enjoyed when read in sequential order.
