Product Description
Is it ever truly possible to atone for killing someone?
After the death of his son in a freak accident, DI Harlan Miller's life is spiralling out of control. He’s drinking too much. His marriage and career are on the rocks. But things are about to get even worse for him. A booze-soaked night out and a single wild punch leave a man dead and Harlan facing a manslaughter charge.
Fast-forward four years. Harlan’s prison term is up, but life on the outside holds little promise. Divorced, alone, consumed with guilt, he thinks of nothing beyond atoning for the death he caused. But how do you make up for depriving a wife of her husband and two young boys of their father? Then something happens, something terrible, yet something that holds out a twisted kind of hope for Harlan – the dead man’s youngest son is abducted.
From that moment Harlan’s life has only one purpose – finding the boy. So begins a frantic race against time that leads him to a place darker than anything he experienced as a policeman and a stark moral choice that compels him to question the law he once enforced.
Set in the northern English city of Sheffield, Blood Guilt is a gritty crime thriller that'll leave you asking yourself how far you'd go to protect a child from the very real monsters that stalk our world. If you're a fan of fast-paced, hard-hitting fiction that isn't afraid of dark subjects and dangerous questions, this full-length novel is for you.
