About the Book

I can help you, Cal. I can help you solve the murder of Cindy Mellish.' A grisly murder in a shabby New York bookstore seems to hold a special significance for Detective Callum Doyle: the victim's been marked with a message that could have been left specially for him. But why? Then the sinister phone calls start. Doyle is told more deaths are planned but the caller will give him clues – on condition he keeps them to himself. So begins his dilemma. If he turns the offer down he will have nothing to go on. But if he accepts and gets it wrong, he will have concealed knowledge that could have stopped a killer. As more deaths follow, increasingly vicious and apparently random, the pressure on Doyle to find a link becomes unbearable. Does he continue to gamble with people’s lives? Or must he sacrifice everything to defeat a ruthless and manipulative enemy? Furiously fast-paced, totally unpredictable and unforgettable, this is a masterpiece from the acclaimed author of Pariah.

About the Author :
After taking his Bachelor's degree and then a PhD, David Jackson became a full-time academic. He is married, with two daughters and a menagerie of animals. Pariah, his first novel, was Highly Commended in the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Awards. This is his second novel.

Review :
Praise for David Jackson: 'Recalls Harlan Coben -- though for my money Jackson is the better writer' Guardian 'It's a clever device, adroitly executed and fun to read' The Times 'Jackson is looming up in Lee Child's rear-view mirror as a Brit writing superior hard-boiled American crime, and fans will be delighted by the third story to feature NYPD detective Callum Doyle ... The dialogue's tough, the story slick, and Doyle's a hero with likeably rough edges' Peterborough Telegraph 'His superb crime thrillers crackle with the tension that exudes from every pore of a detective whose nose for trouble, fine line in making enemies and penchant for black humour have made him an irresistible anti-hero ... Marked is a deftly executed thriller with a fascinating cop as lead player' Lancashire Evening Post 'Pariah definitely deserves to get a good push behind it as it ticks all the boxes of good crime fiction and has definitely got that 'if you like you'll love ...' opportunity about it as I think it would appeal to fans of Crais, Wambaugh, Child et al. All in all a great debut and a thriller that I will wholeheartedly recommend' RavenCrimeReads 'With twists and turns that will keep you reading long into the night, The Helper is an outstanding follow up to Jackson's debut novel. David Jackson is an exciting new name in crime fiction, and I for one am looking forward to what he'll bring us next' CrimeFictionLover
